The King James Version Bible

Wisdom of Solomon 6:21-25

  1. If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.

  2. 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.

  3. Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.

  4. But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.

  5. Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.
