2 People of Israel, you must turn to Wisdom and keep her with you always. Her light shines brightly, so walk toward it.
3 Don't give away to any other nation the glorious Wisdom that rightfully belongs to you.
4 We should celebrate, because we are the people of Israel, the only ones who know what pleases God.
5 Be brave, my people. Keep Israel's name alive!
6 You were not sold to enemy nations to be destroyed. Instead, those nations dragged you away as captives because you did things that God hated.
7 God is your Creator, yet you made him angry by offering sacrifices to demons instead of to him.
8 You rejected the eternal God who gave you life. And you caused much sadness for Jerusalem, the city that was a mother to you.
