7
And if a man love righteousness, her labors are virtues; for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude, which are such things as men can have nothing more profitable in their life.
8
If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come; she knoweth the subtleties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences; she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.
9
Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counselor of good things and a comfort in cares and grief.
10
For her sake I shall have esteem among the multitude and honor with the elders, though I be young.
11
I shall be found of a quick conception in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.
