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 placeAnd 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.
