9 It is for you, mighty kings, that I write these words, so that you may know how to act wisely and avoid mistakes.
10 These are holy matters, and if you treat them in a holy manner, you yourselves will be considered holy. If you have learnt this lesson, you will be able to defend yourselves at the Judgement.
11 So then, make my teaching your treasure and joy, and you will be well instructed.
12 Wisdom shines bright and never grows dim; those who love her and look for her can easily find her.
13 She is quick to make herself known to anyone who desires her.
14 Get up early in the morning to find her, and you will have no problem; you will find her sitting at your door.
15 To fasten your attention on Wisdom is to gain perfect understanding. If you look for her, you will soon find peace of mind,
