Wisdom 8:9-11

Revised Standard Version

Wisdom Indispensible to Rulers

⁹Therefore I determined to take her to live with me,

¹⁰Because of her I shall have glory among the multitudes
and honor in the presence of the elders, though I am young.
¹¹I shall be found keen in judgment,
and in the sight of rulers I shall be admired.
