These are holy matters, and if you treat them in a holy manner, you yourselves will be considered holy. If you have learned this lesson, you will be able to defend yourselves at the Judgment.
11
So then, make my teaching your treasure and joy, and you will be well instructed.
12
Wisdom shines bright and never grows dim; those who love her and look for her can easily find her.

She is quick to make herself known to anyone who desires her.
