Wisdom 9:5

Listen to Wisdom 9:5
5 I am your slave, as was my mother before me. I am only human. I am not strong, and my life will be short. I have little understanding of the Law or of how to apply it.

Wisdom 9:5 In-Context

3 to govern the world with holiness and righteousness, to administer justice with integrity.
4 Give me the Wisdom that sits beside your throne; give me a place among your children.
5 I am your slave, as was my mother before me. I am only human. I am not strong, and my life will be short. I have little understanding of the Law or of how to apply it.
6 Even if someone is perfect, he will be thought of as nothing without the Wisdom that comes from you.
7 You chose me over everyone else to be the king of your own people, to judge your sons and daughters.
