So if you, who take charge over peoples, want to keep enjoying the thrones and symbols of power that you presently possess, honor wisdom so that you may rule forever.
22
I'll tell you what Wisdom is and how she came into being. I won't hide these secret matters from you. I'll show you her very origins. I'll lay all that I know of her in the open. I won't skip past the truth.
23
I won't be selfish or allow jealousy to make me keep this to myself, for jealousy has nothing to do with wisdom.
24
The more wise people there are in the world, the more likely it is that the world will be saved. A sensible ruler gives stability to his people.
25
So it will do you good to be instructed by my words.
