Wisdom of Solomon 9:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³ and rule the world in holiness and righteousness
and pronounce judgment in uprightness of soul,^(A)
4 give me the wisdom that sits by your throne,
and do not reject me from among your children.^(B)
5 For I am your servant, the son of your female servant,
a man who is weak and short-lived,
with little understanding of judgment and laws,^(C)
