Wis 6:12
Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily
seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.

Wis 6:13
She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first
known unto them.

Wis 6:14
Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he
shall find her sitting at his doors.

Wis 6:15
To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom: and
whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care.

Wis 6:16
For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her,
sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth
them in every thought.

Wis 6:17
For the very true beginning of her is the desire of
discipline; and the care of discipline is love;

Wis 6:18
And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto
her laws is the assurance of incorruption;

Wis 6:19
And incorruption maketh us near unto God:

Wis 6:20
Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.

Wis 6:21
If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings

Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall
have no fellowship with wisdom.

Wis 6:24
But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world:
and a wise king is the upholding of the people.

Wis 6:25
Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall
do you good.

Wis 7:1
I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring
of him that was first made of the earth,

Wis 7:2
And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time
of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and
the pleasure that came with sleep.

Wis 7:3
And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon
the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I
uttered was crying, as all others do.

Wis 7:4
I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and that with cares.

Wis 7:5
For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth.

Wis 7:6
For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going
out.

Wis 7:7
Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called
upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.

Wis 7:8
