Wisdom 7:10LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 10 of 30
"I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out."
In context
8And I preferred her before kingdoms and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
9Neither did I compare unto her any precious stone: for all gold in comparison of her, is as a little sand, and silver in respect to her shall be counted as clay.
10I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out.
11Now all good things came to me together with her, and innumerable riches through her hands,
12And I rejoiced in all these: for this wisdom went before me, and I knew not that she was the mother of them all.
