Wisdom 8:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ Do you love justice? All the virtues are the result of Wisdom's work: justice and courage, self-control and understanding. Life can offer us nothing more valuable than these. ⁸ Do you want to have wide experience? Wisdom knows the lessons of history and can anticipate the future. She knows how to interpret what people say and how to solve problems. She knows the miracles that God will perform, and how the movements of history will develop.

⁹ So I decided to take Wisdom home to live with me, because I knew that she would give me good advice and encourage me in times of trouble and grief.
