28. So they perishedbecause they didn’t have Wisdom;they perishedthrough their carelessness.
29. Who went into heaven, took Wisdom,and brought her down from the clouds?
30. Who crossed over to the other side of the sea and found her,and who will bring her backwith choice gold?
31. No one knows the road she takesor thinks much aboutthe path she travels.
32. But the one who knows all thingsknows her;God found her by his understanding;the one who made the earthfor time eternal,and filled it with four-footed animals;
33. the one who sends the lightand it shines forth;who called itand it obeyed him with trembling.
34. The stars shone at their appointed posts and were delighted.God called them,and the stars said, "Here we are."They shone joyfullyfor the one who made them.
35. This is our God.No other will be compared to him.
36. God discovered every way of knowledgeand gave her to his child Jacob,to Israel, whom he loved.
37. After this, she appeared on the earthand lived among humans.
