18For I purposed to do after her, And earnestly I followed that which is good; So shall I not be confounded.
19My soul hath wrestled with her, And in my doings I was exact: I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, And bewailed my ignorances of her.

21My heart was troubled in seeking her: Therefore have I gotten a good possession.
22The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, And I will praise him therewith.
