Wisdom, the unseen


Why is Wisdom a she?

Wisdom 6:12-16

Wisdom is found by those who look for her

Wisdom is bright, and does not grow dim.
By those who love her she is readily seen,
and found by those who look for her.
Quick to anticipate those who desire her, she makes herself known to them.
Watch for her early and you will have no trouble:
you will find her early and you will have no trouble:
you will find her sitting at your gates.
Even to think about her is understanding fully grown;
be on alert for her and anxiety will quickly leave you.
She herself walks about looking for those who are worthy of her
and graciously shows herself to them as they go,
in every thought of theirs coming to meet them...
