Wisdom 6:10-12
New Catholic Bible
10 For those who observe holy precepts with holiness will be accounted holy,
and those who have become learned in them will have a defense[a] to offer.
11 Therefore, be zealous in heeding my words;
long for them, and you will receive instruction.
Wisdom Is Seated at the Door of Those Who Love Her[b]
12 Radiant and never-fading is Wisdom;
she is easily discerned by those who love her
and is found by those who search for her.

- Wisdom 6:10 Defense: see Job 31:14; Prov 22:21; Sir 8:9; Hab 2:1.
- Wisdom 6:12 When we truly desire the force of life that is Wisdom, she comes before us. For our author, it is the intimate invitation that reaches all human beings in the secret of the heart. It is neither a legalism nor an annoying moralism imposed from outside, but an inner transformation, which becomes the hope of immortality.
