16
I bowed down mine ear a little and received her, and got much learning.
17
I profited therein; therefore will I ascribe the glory unto Him that giveth me wisdom.
18
For I purposed to do according to her, and earnestly I followed that which is good; so shall I not be confounded.
19
My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I was exact; I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and bewailed my ignorances of her.
20
I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness. I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning; therefore shall I not be forsaken.
