XLII. The Dwelling-places of Wisdom and of Unrighteousness.

[edit]

CHAPTER XLII.

1. Wisdom found no place where she might dwell;

Then a dwelling-place was assigned her in the heavens.


2. Wisdom went forth to make her dwelling among the children of men,

And found no dwelling-place:


Wisdom returned to her place,

And took her seat among the angels.


3. And unrighteousness went forth from her chambers:

Whom she sought not she found,

And dwelt with them,


As rain in a desert

And dew on a thirsty land.
