Wisdom 8:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ When I go into my house, I shall repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness, nor her company any tediousness, but joy and gladness.

¹⁷ Thinking these things with myself, and pondering them in my heart, that to be allied to wisdom is immortality,

¹⁸ And that there is great delight in her friendship, and inexhaustible riches in the works of her hands, and in the exercise of conference with her, wisdom, and glory in the communication of her words: I went about seeking, that I might take her to myself.
