Wisdom of Solomon 8:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 When I enter my house, I shall find rest with her,
for companionship with her has no bitterness,
and life with her has no pain but gladness and joy.(A)
17 When I considered these things inwardly
and pondered in my heart
that in kinship with wisdom there is immortality,(B)
18 and in friendship with her, pure delight,
and in the labors of her hands, unfailing wealth,
and in the experience of her company, understanding,
and renown in sharing her words,
I went about seeking how to get her for myself.(C)
