Wis 8:14
I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be
subject unto me.

Wis 8:15
Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of
me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in
war.

Wis 8:16
After I am come into mine house, I will repose myself with
her: for her conversation hath no bitterness; and to live with
her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy.

Wis 8:17
Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered
them in my heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is
immortality;

Wis 8:18
And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the
works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of
conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good
report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.

Wis 8:19

Wis 9:5
For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble
person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding

Wis 9:6
For though a man be never so perfect among the children of
men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing

Wis 9:7
Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge

Wis 9:8
Thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount,
and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of

Wis 9:9
And wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was
present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable
