[The Parables. The First Parable. The Dwelling-places of Wisdom and of Unrighteousness.][1]Wisdom found no place where she might dwell; Then a dwelling-place was assigned her in the heavens.[2]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.[3]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.
