Translated by R.H. Charles (1917)
XLII. The Dwelling-places of Wisdom and of Unrighteousness.
XLII. 1. Wisdom found no place where she might dwell; Then a dwelling-place was assigned her in the heavens.
- Wisdom went forth to make her dwelling among the children of men, And found no dwelling-place:
Wisdom returned to her place And took her seat among the angels.
- 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.
