Wisdom 6:19–25
19Immortality brings closeness to God.↗
20So then desire for wisdom promotes to a kingdom.↗
21If therefore you delight in thrones and sceptres, you princes of peoples, honor wisdom, that you may reign forever.↗
22But what wisdom is, and how she came into being, I will declare. I won’t hide mysteries from you; but I will explore from her first beginning, bring the knowledge of her into clear light, and I will not pass by the truth.↗
23Indeed, I won’t travel with consuming envy, because envy will have no fellowship with wisdom.↗
24But a multitude of wise men is salvation to the world, and an understanding king is stability for his people.↗
25Therefore be instructed by my words, and you will profit.↗
