Given by: the inspired teacher, Wisdom's voice through Solomon, appealing to rulers. Given to: those who rule and all readers — a call to desire wisdom joined to a promise of instruction.

Amid a Hellenistic culture proud of its learning, the book presents divine Wisdom personified, appealing to be loved and desired — teaching that true instruction begins with longing for her.

Covet ye therefore my words, and love them, and you shall have instruction.

A call to desire and love the words of wisdom — the wisdom that is from God — with the promise that such longing is met with instruction.

Wisdom of Solomon 6:12
