Provérbios 8

Provérbios 8:17

For indeed he says: "I love those who love me, and those who watch for me at dawn will find me." You see how he not only makes you certain of his love, if indeed you love him, but also of his solicitude, which he bears for you, if he has perceived you solicitous for him. Do you watch? He also watches. Rise up in the night at the beginning of your watches, hasten to anticipate even the watches themselves as much as you will; you will find him, you will not precede him. Rashly in such a matter you attribute to yourself something either prior or greater; he both loves more and loved before. — Sermons on the Song of Songs, Sermon 69
