1. Whoever fears the Lord will do this;whoever is practiced in the Law will come to Wisdom.
2. She will meet him like a mother;like a young bride she will receive him,
3. She will feed him with the bread of learning,and give him the water of understanding to drink.
4. He will lean upon her and not fall;he will trust in her and not be put to shame.
5. She will exalt him above his neighbors,and in the assembly she will make him eloquent.
6. Joy and gladness he will find,and an everlasting name he will inherit.
7. The worthless will not attain her,and the haughty will not behold her.
8. She is far from the impious;liars never think of her.
