Wisdom 6:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ If you desire wisdom with all your heart, you will know what good leadership is. ²¹ So if you, who take charge over peoples, want to keep enjoying the thrones and symbols of power that you presently possess, honor wisdom so that you may rule forever.

²² I’ll tell you what Wisdom is and how she came into being. I won’t hide these secret matters from you. I’ll show you her very origins. I’ll lay all that I know of her in the open. I won’t skip past the truth.
