8 Do you desire wide experience?Wisdom knows what has happenedand predicts the future;she knows the meaning of wordsand the answers to riddles.Wisdom knows in advancethe miracles God will workand all that will take place.
9 So I decided to bring Wisdomhome to live with me—she will offer good advice,as well as comfort in timesof suffering and grief.
10 She will bring me great honorfrom advisors and many others,even though I am young.

13 Because of Wisdom,my name will live on forever.
14 I will rule many nations
