I set my heart on possessing wisdom, and by keeping myself pure I found her. With her I gained understanding immediately; therefore, I will never be forsaken.

I directed my soul to her, and in purity I found her. With her I gained understanding from the first; therefore I will never be forsaken.

I (ad)dressed my soul to it; and I found it in knowing (I directed my soul to it; and I found it in knowledge). I had peaceably from the beginning an heart with those, that is, works either (en)lightenings of wisdom; for this thing I shall not be forsaken.
