6 LIBER SAPIENTIAE SOLOMONIS Wisdom - Wycliffe Bible(14c) Wisdom - Douay Rheims(17c) Reference
12Concupiscite ergo sermones meos;
diligite illos, et habebitis disciplinam.
 Wisdom. Wis.6.12-25
13Clara est, et quæ numquam marcescit, sapientia:
et facile videtur ab his qui diligunt eam,
et invenitur ab his qui quærunt illam.
  
14Præoccupat qui se concupiscunt,
ut illis se prior ostendat.
  
15Qui de luce vigilaverit ad illam non laborabit;
assidentem enim illam foribus suis inveniet.
  
16Cogitare ergo de illa sensus est consummatus,
et qui vigilaverit propter illam cito securus erit.
  
17Quoniam dignos se ipsa circuit quærens,
et in viis ostendit se hilariter,
et in omni providentia occurrit illis.
  
18Initium enim illius verissima est disciplinæ concupiscentia.
  
19Cura ergo disciplinæ dilectio est,
et dilectio custodia legum illius est;
custoditio autem legum consummatio incorruptionis est;
  
20incorruptio autem facit esse proximum Deo.
  
21Concupiscentia itaque sapientiæ deducit ad regnum perpetuum.
  
22Si ergo delectamini sedibus et sceptris, o reges populi,
diligite sapientiam, ut in perpetuum regnetis:
  
23diligite lumen sapientiæ, omnes qui præestis populis.  
24Quid est autem sapientia, et quemadmodum facta sit, referam,
et non abscondam a vobis sacramenta Dei:
sed ab initio nativitatis investigabo,
et ponam in lucem scientiam illius,
et nonpræteribo veritatem.
  
25Neque cum invidia tabescente iter habebo,
quoniam talis homo non erit particeps sapientiæ.
  

Notes: For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions. I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats. I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website. You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages. Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976. To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters. To find out about Unicode fonts, go to Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
