| 0:06.0 | Proverbs chapter 8 verse 17 |
| 0:09.0 | I love those who love me |
| 0:12.0 | and those who seek me diligently find me. This is such a powerful verse when you think about it. |
| 0:20.6 | So this is like wisdom personified in this part of |
| 0:24.4 | Proverbs chapter 8 wisdom is speaking. So picture wisdom as a person saying |
| 0:31.2 | I love those who love me and those who seek me diligently find me. |
| 0:40.0 | So we've seen at different points in Proverbs like get wisdom get wisdom seek wisdom but now we see like a parallel picture alongside that so it's not just us loving wisdom, it's wisdom loving us. I love |
