Wisdom 9:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ Give me the Wisdom that sits beside your throne; give me a place among your children. ⁵ I am your slave, as was my mother before me. I am only human. I am not strong, and my life will be short. I have little understanding of the Law or of how to apply it. ⁶ Even if someone is perfect, he will be thought of as nothing without the Wisdom that comes from you.
