Wisdom 7:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.
