12 They will wait for my opinion,then listen when I speak,and they will be amazedat my marvelous speeches.
13 Because of Wisdom,my name will live on forever.
14 I will rule many nations
15 and be a hero in battle;oppressive rulers will trembleat the mention of my name.
16 With Wisdom as my friend,I will live happily and at peace,with no bitter regrets.
17 I thought deeply about Wisdomand all that she offered—unending life
18 and perfect joybecause of her friendship;wealth and understandingbecause of her companionship;and fame because of her words.So I searched for Wisdom.
