Wisdom Of Solomon 8:10-16 World English Bible (WEB)

10. Because of her I shall have glory among multitudes, And honor in the sight of elders, though I be young.

11. I shall be found of a quick conceit when I give judgement, And in the presence of princes I shall be admired.

12. When I am silent, they shall wait for me; And when I open my lips, they shall give heed to me; And if I continue speaking, they shall lay their hand upon their mouth.

13. Because of her I shall have immortality, And leave behind an eternal memory to them that come after me.

14. I shall govern peoples, And nations shall be subjected to me.

15. Dread princes shall fear me when they hear of me: Among my people I shall show myself a good ruler, and in war courageous.

16. When I am come into my house, I shall find rest with her; For converse with her has no bitterness, And to live with her has no pain, but gladness and joy.
