Wisdom Of Solomon 8:1-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. She stands strong from one end of the world to the other. She is a marvelous governor over everything in between.

2. From my youth, I loved her and sought her out. I sought to make her my bride. I burned within for her beauty.

3. She honors her dignified birth by sharing her life with God. The master of all loves her.

4. She knows God’s secret ways and is a partner in God’s works.

5. If wealth is a possession to be desired with all one’s heart, what could be wealthier than Wisdom, who has given form to everything?

6. If thoughtful planning accomplishes things, who could possibly be wiser than she who designed everything that is?
