⁵ If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.

²² So King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on earth.

²⁵ And the Lord exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and he gave Solomon greater royal splendor than any king in Israel before him.

³³ Seek the Kingdom of God^[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

²⁰ Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

⁹ So I became greater than all who had lived in Jerusalem before me, and my wisdom never failed me.
