Enoch 42

1Wisdom found no place where she might dwell;Then a dwelling-place was assigned her in the heavens.

2Wisdom 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.

3And unrighteousness went forth from her chambers:Whom she sought not she found,And dwelt with them, As rain in a desertAnd dew on a thirsty land.
