19. and incorruptibility makes one close to God;
20. thus the desire for Wisdom leads to a kingdom.
21. If, then, you find pleasure in throne and scepter, you princes of peoples,honor Wisdom, that you may reign as kings forever.
22. Now what wisdom is, and how she came to be I shall proclaim;and I shall conceal no secrets from you,But from the very beginning I shall search outand bring to light knowledge of her;I shall not diverge from the truth.
23. Neither shall I admit consuming jealousy to my company,because that can have no fellowship with Wisdom.
24. A multitude of the wise is the safety of the world,and a prudent king, the stability of the people;
25. so take instruction from my words, to your profit.
