Wisdom 9:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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.(A)
6 Indeed, though one be perfect among mortals,
if Wisdom, who comes from you, be lacking,
that one will count for nothing.(B)
7 You have chosen me king over your people
and magistrate over your sons and daughters.(C)
