Wis 8, 2 I was enamored of her beauty

(Wis 8, 2) I was enamored of her beauty

[2] Her I loved and sought after from my youth; I sought to take her for my bride and was enamored of her beauty.

(CCC 1950) The moral law is the work of divine Wisdom. Its biblical meaning can be defined as fatherly instruction, God's pedagogy. It prescribes for man the ways, the rules of conduct that lead to the promised beatitude; it proscribes the ways of evil which turn him away from God and his love. It is at once firm in its precepts and, in its promises, worthy of love.
