10. I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out.
11. Now all good things came to me together with her, and innumerable riches through her hands,
12. And I rejoiced in all these: for this wisdom went before me, and I knew not that she was the mother of them all.
13. Which I have learned without guile, and communicate without envy, and her riches I hide not.
14. For she is an infinite treasure to men! which they that use, become the friends of God, being commended for the gift of discipline.
