Wisdom

Wisdom cries without
She utters her voice in the streets
How long …will the fools hate knowledge?
The lord gives wisdom
He lays up sound wisdom
When wisdom enters into your heart
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul;
Discretion shall preserve you
Understanding shall keep you
Be not wise in your own eyes
Fear the Lord:

It shall be health to your naval
And marrow to your bones
Happy is the man that finds wisdom…
For the merchandise of it is better than
The merchandise of silver
And the gain thereof than fine gold
She is more precious than rubies
And all the things you cannot desire
Are not to be compared to her
Length of days is in her right hand
And in her left riches and honour.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness
And all her paths are peace
She is a tree of life
To them that lay hold upon her
And happy is every one that retains her
Forsake her not and she shall preserve you
Love her and she shall keep you
Wisdom is the principal thing
Exalt her and she shall promote you
She shall bring you to honour
When you do embrace her
She shall give your head and ornament of grace
A crown of glory shall she deliver to you
The Fear of God is the beginning of them all.

WHY IS WISDOM TAKING A FEMININE GENDER?
