Good News Translation

The Happiness of Having Wisdom

^20 (A)It is a happy person who is concerned with Wisdom and who uses good sense. ²¹ Anyone who studies the ways of Wisdom will also learn her secrets. ²² Go after Wisdom like a hunter looking for game. ²³ Look into her windows and listen at her doors. ²⁴ Camp as close to her house as you can get, ²⁵ and you will have a fine place to live. ^26-27 Build your home there, safe beneath her protecting branches, and shaded from the heat.^[a]
