6 To whom has the root of Wisdom been revealed?

8 Only One is wise: he is to be greatly revered,

9 He himself created her...;

10 She is with all flesh according to his gift,

and what is too strong for you do not examine.

for you have no need for what is hidden.

for you have been shown what is beyond the understanding of men.

and a wrong conjecture has made their thinking slip.

1 Yet he who dedicates his soul

seeks out the wisdom of all the ancients

2 He preserves the statements of famous men

3 He seeks out things hidden [apocrypha] in proverbs

4 He serves among great (men)

He passes through the land of foreign nations

5 He devotes his heart to rise early for the Lord who made him'

He opens his mouth in prayer

6 If the great Lord (so) wills,

He will pour out words [rhemata] of wisdom

7 He will correct his counsel and knowledge

8 He will reveal discipline in his teaching

9 Many will praise his understanding,

Memory of him will not pass away

10 The nations will describe his wisdom

11 If he lasts, he will leave a name (greater) than a thousand;
