And apply your heart to understanding [seeking it conscientiously and striving for it eagerly];

“Do not turn away from her (Wisdom) and she will guard and protect you;
Love her, and she will watch over you.

Thou

If I call out to the pit (grave), ‘You are my father’;
And to the worm [that feeds on decay], ‘You are my mother and my sister [because I will soon be closest to you],’

“Oh, that you were like a brother to me,
Who nursed at the breasts of my mother.
If I found you out of doors, I would kiss you;
No one would blame me or despise me, either.

And stretching out His hand toward His disciples [and all His other followers], He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

Now while Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed (happy, favored by God) is the womb that gave birth to You and the breasts at which You nursed!”
