9
To you then, O monarchs, my words are directed, so that you may learn wisdom and not transgress.
10
For they will be made holy who observe holy things in holiness, and those who have been taught them will find a defense.
11
Therefore set your desire on my words; long for them, and you will be instructed.
12
Wisdom is radiant and unfading, and she is easily discerned by those who love her, and is found by those who seek her.
13
She hastens to make herself known to those who desire her.
