Wisdom hates arrogance
and perversity;
She loves good judgment
and accommodation.
Wisdom rules with kindness
and mercy;
She obeys with change,
and amendment.
Wisdom loves sincerely
and genuinely;
She gives honor
and prosperity.
Wisdom gives me graces
and blessings:
She satisfies my needs
and wants.
