I rejoiced in all this because Wisdom brings them all in tow. I didn't know that she had given birth to them.
13
I learned in innocence, and I don't begrudge sharing it with you. I won't conceal her riches.

She's a never-ending treasure for humans. Those who possess her are ready to be God's friends, commended for the gifts that come from instruction.
15
I pray that God will allow me to speak knowledgeably and to ponder well what God has taught me. God himself is the guide even of Wisdom, and God keeps those who already possess wisdom on the right course.
16
We're in God's hands, as are our words, all our reasoning, and all our practical knowledge.
