Wisdom 8:1-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Thus, she reaches mightily from one end all the way to the other, and she orders all things sweetly.

2. I have loved her and searched for her from my youth, and have asked to take her to me as my spouse, and I became a lover of her form.

3. She glorifies her lineage by having companionship with God; yes and of all things, the Lord loves her.

4. For she teaches the teaching of God and is the chooser of his works.

5. And if riches are longed for in life, what is richer than wisdom, which is being served in all things?

6. But if the mind is to be served, who, of all that exists, is a greater artisan than she?
