Chapter 42 of 108 · 1 min to read the chapter
In Chapter 42, Wisdom seeks somewhere to live among people, finds no place, and returns to the heavens to sit among the angels. At the same time, unrighteousness finds people who do not seek it and settles among them, contrasting Wisdom’s exclusion with its own ready lodging.
