### The Dwelling-places of Wisdom and of Unrighteousness

[¶1] 1 Wisdom found no place where she might dwell; Then a dwelling-place was assigned her in the heavens.

[¶2] 2 Wisdom went forth to make her dwelling among the children of men, And found no dwelling-place:

[¶3] Wisdom returned to her place And took her seat among the angels.

[¶4] 3 And 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.
