Wisdom 9:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 And to govern the world in holiness and righteousness,
and to render judgment in integrity of heart:(A)
4 Give me Wisdom, the consort at your throne,
and do not reject me from among your children;(B)
5 For I am your servant, the child of your maidservant,
a man weak and short-lived
and lacking in comprehension of judgment and of laws.(C)
