Wisdom begins when you sincerely want to learn. To desire Wisdom is to love her;
18
to love her is to keep her laws; to keep her laws is to be certain of immortality;
19
immortality will bring you close to God.
20
This desire for Wisdom can prepare you to rule a kingdom.
21
So then, you that rule the nations, if you value your thrones and symbols of authority, honor Wisdom so that you may rule forever.
