1 Wisdom found no place where she might dwell; Then a dwelling-place was assigned her in the heavens.
2 Wisdom went out to make her dwelling among the human beings, And found no dwelling-place: Wisdom returned to her place, And took her seat among the angels.
3 And unrighteousness went out from her chambers: Whom she sought not she found, And dwelt with them, As rain in a desert And dew on a thirsty land.
