Wisdom 6:20-25

20 so the desire for wisdom leads to a kingdom.

21 Therefore if you delight in thrones and scepters, O monarchs over the peoples, honor wisdom, so that you may reign forever.

22 I will tell you what wisdom is and how she came to be, and I will hide no secrets from you, but I will trace her course from the beginning of creation, and make knowledge of her clear, and I will not pass by the truth;

23 nor will I travel in the company of sickly envy, for envy does not associate with wisdom.

24 The multitude of the wise is the salvation of the world, and a sensible king is the stability of any people.

25 Therefore be instructed by my words, and you will profit.
