Wisdom 8:17
I thought all these things to myself. I reflected on them in my heart. I thought: If immortality is to be found by becoming part of Wisdom’s family,
Thinking these things with myself, and pondering them in my heart, that to be allied to wisdom is immortality,
And so I thought it over: to be wedded to Wisdom is to live forever,
Reflecting on these things, and considering in my heart That immortality lies in kinship with Wisdom,
Reflecting upon these things within myself and having concluded in my heart that there is immortality in kinship with Wisdom
When I considered these things inwardly, and pondered in my heart that in kinship with wisdom there is immortality,
When I considered these things inwardly, and pondered in my heart that in kinship with wisdom there is immortality,
When I considered these things inwardly, and pondered in my heart that in kinship with wisdom there is immortality,
When I considered these things inwardly and pondered in my heart that in kinship with wisdom there is immortality,
When I considered these things inwardly, and thought upon them in my mind, that in kinship with wisdom there is immortality,
When I considered these things inwardly, and thought upon them in my mind, that in kinship with wisdom there is immortality,
I thought these things at (or within) me, and I remembered in mine heart; for why wisdom is undeadly (or immortal) in thought [or for undeadly is wisdom in thinking],
