Wisdom 8:11-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. I shall become keen in judgment,and shall be a marvel before rulers.

12. They will wait while I am silent and listen when I speak;and when I shall speak the more,they will put their hands upon their mouths.

13. Because of her I shall have immortalityand leave to those after me an everlasting memory.

14. I shall govern peoples, and nations will be my subjects—

15. tyrannical princes, hearing of me, will be afraid;in the assembly I shall appear noble, and in war courageous.

16. Entering my house, I shall take my repose beside her;For association with her involves no bitternessand living with her no grief,but rather joy and gladness.
