Sirach 4:12
Whoever loves her loves life. Those who wake early for her will be filled with gladness.
Wisdom inspireth life into her children, and protecteth them that seek after her, and will go before them in the way of justice.
Loving her is loving life itself; rising early to look for her is pure joy.
Those who love her love life; those who seek her out win the Lord’s favor.
Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her out diligently will be filled with joy.
Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her from early morning are filled with joy.
Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her from early morning are filled with joy.
Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her from early morning are filled with joy.
Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her from early morning will be filled with joy.
Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her early will be filled with joy.
Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her early will be filled with joy.
and he that loveth that wisdom, loveth life, and they that wake to it, shall embrace the peaceableness, either sweetness, thereof. [and he that loveth it, loveth life, and that wake to it, shall embrace (al)together the gladness, or peaceableness, of it.]
