1 Whoever fears the Lordwill do these things,and whoever has a firm holdon the Law will possess Wisdom.
2 She will come to meet them like a mother,and she will await themlike a young bride.
3 She will feed them breadof understanding,and will give them water of wisdomto drink.
4 They will be supported by herand not be undermined;they will be intent upon herand will never be put to shame.
5 She will raise them above their neighbors,and allow them to speakin the midst of the assembly.
6 They will inherit gladness,a crown of rejoicing,and an eternal name.
7 People who lack sense will neverreceive her,and sinners will never see her.
