Wisdom 6:19-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

19. Therefore, the zeal for instruction is love, and love is the keeping of her laws, and the keeping of her laws is the perfection of incorruptibility,

20. while incorruptibility makes us near to God.

21. And so, the desire for wisdom leads to an everlasting kingdom.

22. If, therefore, your delight is in thrones and scepters, O kings of the people, love wisdom, so that you may reign forever;

23. love the light of wisdom, all you who lead the peoples.
