Wisdom 6:21-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.
