Wisdom 8:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Because of her I have glory among the multitudes,(A)
and esteem from the elders, though I am but a youth.
11 I shall become keen in judgment,
and shall be a marvel before rulers.
12 They will wait while I am silent and listen when I speak;
and when I shall speak the more,
they will put their hands upon their mouths.[a]
