Wisdom 9:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵ For I am your servant,^[a] the son of your servant-girl,
a man who is weak and short-lived,
with little understanding of judgement and laws;
⁶ for even one who is perfect among human beings
will be regarded as nothing without the wisdom that comes from you.
⁷ You have chosen me to be king of your people
and to be judge over your sons and daughters.
