‏ Sirach 4:18

18For she walks with him through temptation, and she chooses him from the beginning.
4:18 In temptation, etc: The meaning is, that before wisdom will choose any for her favourite, she will try them by leading them through contradictions, afflictions, and temptations, the usual noviceship of the children of God.(Challoner)
