Wisdom 8:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 I shall become keen in judgment,
and shall be a marvel before rulers.
12 They will wait while I am silent and listen when I speak;
and when I shall speak the more,
they will put their hands upon their mouths.[a]
13 Because of her I shall have immortality
and leave to those after me an everlasting memory.(A)
