7. For the Sovereign Lord of all will not refrain himself for any man’s person, Neither will he reverence greatness; Because it is he that made both small and great, And alike he takes thought for all;
8. But strict is the scrutiny that comes upon the powerful.
9. To you therefore, O princes, are my words, That you⌃ may learn wisdom and fall not from the right way.
10. For they that have kept holily the things that are holy shall themselves be hallowed; And they that have been taught them shall find what to answer;
11. Set your desire therefore on my words; Long for them, and you⌃ shall be trained by their discipline.
12. Wisdom is radiant and fades not away; And easily is she saw those who love her, And found of them that seek her.
13. She forestalleth them that desire to know her, making herself first known.
