Sirach 4:10-12

¹⁰ Be like a father to orphans, and provide widows with the help their husbands can no longer give them. Then you will be like a child of the Most High, and he will love you more than your own mother does.

Wisdom as a Teacher

¹¹ Wisdom takes care of those who look for her; she raises them to greatness. ¹² Loving her is loving life itself; rising early to look for her is pure joy.
