XLII. The Dwelling-places of Wisdom and of Unrighteousness.
1Wisdom found no place where she might dwell; Then a dwelling-place was assigned her in the heavens. 2Wisdom 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. 3And 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.The wicked refused Wisdom when she came; they welcomed Unrighteousness when she sought them not.
