11
Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.
12
Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.
13
She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them.
14
Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.
15
To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care.
16
For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought.
17
For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;
18
And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption;
19
And incorruption maketh us near unto God:
20
Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.
21
If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.
