25. My soul has struggled for wisdom, and in doing so, I have been confirmed.
26. I extended my hands on high, and I mourned my ignorance of her.
27. I directed my soul toward her, and I found her within knowledge.
28. From the beginning, I held my heart to wisdom. Because of this, I will not be forsaken.
29. My stomach was stirred up while seeking her. Because of her, I will hold a good possession.
30. The Lord has given me a tongue as my reward, and I will praise him with it.
