Wisdom:6

* Hear therefore , O ye kings , and understand ; learn , ye that be judges of the ends of the earth . * Give ear , ye that rule the people , and glory in the multitude of nations . * For power is given you of the Lord , and sovereignty from the Highest , who shall try your works , and search out your counsels . * Because , being ministers of his kingdom , ye have not judged aright , nor kept the law , nor walked after the counsel of God ; * Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you : for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places . * For mercy will soon pardon the meanest : but mighty men shall be mightily tormented . * For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man 's person , neither shall he stand in awe of any man 's greatness : for he hath made the small and great , and careth for all alike . * But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty . * Unto you therefore , O kings , do I speak , that ye may learn wisdom , and not fall away . * For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy : and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer . * Wherefore set your affection upon my words ; desire them , and ye shall be instructed . * Wisdom is glorious , and never fadeth away : yea , she is easily seen of them that love her , and found of such as seek her . * She preventeth them that desire her , in making herself first known unto them . * Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail : for he shall find her sitting at his doors . * To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom : and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care . * For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her , sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways , and meeteth them in every thought . * For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline ; and the care of discipline is love ; * And love is the keeping of her laws ; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption ; * And incorruption maketh us near unto God : * Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom . * If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres , O ye kings of the people , honour wisdom , that ye may reign for evermore . * As for wisdom , what she is , and how she came up , I will tell you , and will not hide mysteries from you : but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity , and bring the knowledge of her into light , and will not pass over the truth . * Neither will I go with consuming envy ; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom . * But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world : and a wise king is the upholding of the people . * Receive therefore instruction through my words , and it shall do you good .
