Wisdom embraceth them that fear God. God is not the author of sin.

[1] He that feareth God, will do good: and he that possesseth justice, shall lay hold on her, ... [2] And she will meet him as an honourable mother, and will receive him as a wife married of a virgin. ... [3] With the bread of life and understanding, she shall feed him, and give him the water of wholesome wisdom to drink: and she shall be made strong in him, and he shall not be moved: ... [4] And she shall hold him fast, and he shall not be confounded: and she shall exalt him among his neighbours. ... [5] And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth, and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with a robe of glory.

... [6] She shall heap upon him a treasure of joy and gladness, and shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name. ... [7] But foolish men shall not obtain her, and wise men shall meet her, foolish men shall not see her: for she is far from pride and deceit. ... [8] Lying men shall not be mindful of her: but men that speak truth shall be found with her, and shall advance, even till they come to the sight of God. ... [9] Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner: ... [10] For wisdom came forth from God: for praise shall be with the wisdom of God, and shall abound in a faithful mouth, and the sovereign Lord will give praise unto it.

... [11] Say not: It is through God, that she is not with me: for do not thou the things that he hateth. ... [12] Say not: He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of wicked men. ... [13] The Lord hateth all abomination of error, and they that fear him shall not love it. ... [14] God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel. ... [15] He added his commandments and precepts.

... [16] If thou wilt keep the commandments and perform acceptable fidelity for ever, they shall preserve thee. ... [17] He hath set water and fire before thee: stretch forth thy hand to which thou wilt. ... [18] Before man is life and death, good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him: ... [19] For the wisdom of God is great, and he is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing. ... [20] The eyes of the Lord are towards them that fear him, and he knoweth all the work of man.

... [21] He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, and he hath given no man license to sin: ... [22] For he desireth not a multitude of faithless and unprofitable children.
