Given by: Solomon in the book's voice, testifying to the height of his love for wisdom. Given to: every reader — a model of loving wisdom above even life's most precious natural goods.

Against a culture that prized health, beauty, and vigour, the book presents Solomon loving the wisdom of God above them all, for her light — unlike theirs — never fails.

I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out.

Solomon's love of God's wisdom above health, beauty, and even light itself — because her light, unlike all others, can never be put out.
