10. Because of her I have glory among the multitudes,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.

13. Because of her I shall have immortalityand leave to those after me an everlasting memory.

14. I shall govern peoples, and nations will be my subjects—

15. tyrannical princes, hearing of me, will be afraid;in the assembly I shall appear noble, and in war courageous.
