First Enoch

English, translated by R. H. Charles — Charles, S.P.C.K., London, 1912

=== XLII. The Dwelling-places of Wisdom and of Unrighteousness. === CHAPTER XLII. 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.
