Wisdom 8:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ And so I determined to take her as my life companion,
    confident that she would counsel me in times of prosperity
    and comfort me in times of anxiety and sorrow.
¹⁰ Because of her presence I will receive glory among the multitudes
    and honor among the elders, even though I am young.
¹¹ I will be considered wise when I sit in judgment,
    and I will win the admiration of rulers.
