Wisdom 6:8-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. For the Lord will not exempt anyone's character, nor will he stand in awe of anyone's greatness, because he himself made the little and the great, and he is equally concerned for everyone.

9. But a powerful torture pursues the powerful.

10. Therefore, O kings, these, my words, are for you, so that you may learn wisdom and not perish.

11. For those who have justly preserved justice will be justified, and those who have learned these things will find what to answer.

12. Therefore, desire my words, love them, and you will have instruction.

13. Wisdom is pure and never fades away, and is easily seen by those who love her and found by those who seek her.

14. She anticipates those who desire her, so that she first reveals herself to them.
