Wisdom 8:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ Or again, if one yearns for great experience,
    she knows the things of the past and foresees those of the future.
She understands the subtleties of speech and the solutions of riddles;
    she has advance knowledge of signs and wonders
    and can predict the outcome of times and ages.
⁹ And so I determined to take her as my life companion,
    confident that she would counsel me in times of prosperity
    and comfort me in times of anxiety and sorrow.
¹⁰ Because of her presence I will receive glory among the multitudes
    and honor among the elders, even though I am young.
