7 The Lord created everyone—the powerful and the weak.God has no favorites;he isn't afraid of anyone,
8 and he requires rulersto answer for what they do.
9 I am speaking to you rulers,so that you will have wisdomand not sin against God.
10 If you want to belongto the Lord's holy peopleand to defend yourselfon the day of judgment,
11 then eagerly desire to learnall that I am teaching.
12 Wisdom shines brightlyand never fades.She is easily recognizedby those who love herand look for her.
13 Wisdom wants to be knownby those who desire her.
