menu_book Verse in Context

15 From the first flower to the ripening grape my heart delighted in her. My foot walked in uprightness. From my youth I followed her steps.

16 I inclined my ear a little, and received her, and found for myself much instruction.

17 I profited in her. I will give glory to him who gives me wisdom.

18 For I determined to practice her. I was zealous for that which is good. I will never be put to shame.

19 My soul has wrestled with her. In my conduct I was exact. I spread out my hands to the sky above, and bewailed my ignorances of her.
