judgment shall be for them that bear rule.
6:7. For to him that is little, mercy is granted: but the mighty shall
be mightily tormented.

instruction.

that watcheth for her, shall quickly be secure.

all providence.

laws: and the keeping of her laws is the firm foundation of
incorruption:
6:20. And incorruption bringeth near to God.
6:21. Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to the everlasting
kingdom.
6:22. If then your delight be in thrones, and sceptres, O ye kings of
the people, love wisdom, that you may reign for ever.

will not hide from you the mysteries of God, but will seek her out from
the beginning of her birth, and bring the knowledge of her to light, and
will not pass over the truth:
6:25. Neither will I go with consuming envy: for such a man shall not be
partaker of wisdom.
6:26. Now the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the whole world:
and a wise king is the upholding of the people.
6:27. Receive, therefore, instruction by my words, and it shall be
profitable to you.
Wisdom Chapter 7

man, and the pleasure of sleep concurring.
7:3. And being born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth,
that is made alike, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as
all others do.
