My inward parts were hot (?) as an oven for her, to behold her; Therefore I possessed her as a good possession.

The Lord gave me the reward of my lips; And with my tongue will I give him thanks.

Turn unto me, O foolish ones; And lodge in my house of learning.

How long shall ye lack these things, And your soul be very thirsty?

I opened my mouth and spake of her, Get ye wisdom in possession without money.

And (?) bring your necks into her yoke; And let your soul take up her burden. She is nigh to them that seek her; And he that giveth his soul findeth her.
