Wisdom 8:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Because of her I shall have glory among the multitudes
and honor in the presence of the elders, though I am young.
¹¹ I shall be found keen in judgment,
and in the sight of rulers I shall be admired.
¹² When I am silent they will wait for me,
and when I speak they will give heed;
if I speak at greater length,
they will put their hands on their mouths.
