- Vulgate (Clementine)
- et in amicitia illius delectatio bona, et in operibus manuum illius honestas sine defectione, et in certamine loquelæ illius sapientia, et præclaritas in communicatione sermonum ipsius : circuibam quærens, ut mihi illam assumerem.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐν φιλίᾳ αὐτῆς τέρψις ἀγαθή, καὶ ἐν πόνοις χειρῶν αὐτῆς πλοῦτος ἀνεκλιπής, καὶ ἐν συνγυμνασίᾳ ὁμιλίας αὐτῆς φρόνησις, καὶ εὔκλεια ἐν κοινωνίᾳ λόγων αὐτῆς, περιῄειν ζητῶν ὅπως λάβω αὐτὴν εἰς ἐμαυτόν.
