Wisdom 9:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ I am your slave, as was my mother before me. I am only human. I am not strong, and my life will be short. I have little understanding of the Law or of how to apply it. ⁶ Even if someone is perfect, he will be thought of as nothing without the Wisdom that comes from you. ⁷ You chose me over everyone else to be the king of your own people, to judge your sons and daughters.
