Wisdom 7:10
I loved her more than health or beauty. I chose her above sunlight itself, for her brightness never sets.
I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out.
I valued her more than health and good looks. Hers is a brightness that never grows dim, and I preferred it to any other light.
Beyond health and beauty I loved her, And I chose to have her rather than the light, because her radiance never ceases.
I loved her more than health and beauty and preferred her to the light because her radiance is unceasing.
I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases.
I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases.
I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases.
I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light because her radiance never ceases.
I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases.
I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases.
I loved wisdom more than health and fairness; and I purposed to have it for light, for the light thereof may not be quenched. [Over health and fairness I loved it; and I purposed for light to have it, for unquenchable is the light of it.]
