Wisdom 6:9-15 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

9. But a greater punishment is ready for the more mighty.

10. To you, therefore, O kings, are these my words, that you may learn wisdom, and not fall from it.

11. For they that have kept just things justly, shall be justified: and they that have learned these things, shall find what to answer.

12. Covet ye therefore my words, and love them, and you shall have instruction.

13. Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away, and is easily seen by them that love her, and is found by them that seek her.

14. She preventeth them that covet her, so that she first sheweth herself unto them.

15. He that awaketh early to seek her, shall not labour: for he shall find her sitting at his door.
