Wisdom 8:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ I shall enter into mine house, and I shall rest with wisdom; for the conversation thereof hath no bitterness, and the dwelling together thereof hath none annoyance (or troubles), but gladness and joy.

¹⁷ I thought these things at (or within) me, and I remembered in mine heart; for why wisdom is undeadly (or immortal) in thought [or for undeadly is wisdom in thinking],

¹⁸ and good delighting is in the friendship thereof; and honesty (or honour) without default is in the works of (the) hands thereof; and wisdom is in the strife of (the) speech thereof; and great clearness is in the communing of (the) words thereof; I went about, seeking to take wisdom to me. [and in the friendship of it good delighting; and in the works of the hands of it honesty without failing, and in the strife of the speech of it wisdom; and great opening in communication of the words of it; I went about, seeking that to me it I should take.]
