SCRIPTURE

"Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors." — Proverbs 8:34 (ASV)

The image is suggested probably by the Levites who guarded the doors of the sanctuary (Psalms 134:1; Psalms 135:2). Not less blessed than theirs is the lot of those who wait upon Wisdom in the temple not made with hands.
