Wisdom 8:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ I purposed therefore to take her to me to live with me: knowing that she will communicate to me of her good things, and will be a comfort in my cares and grief.

¹⁰ For her sake I shall have glory among the multitude, and honour with the ancients, though I be young:

¹¹ And I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of the mighty, and the faces of princes shall wonder at me.
