6:19 And incorruption maketh us near unto God:
6:20 Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.
6:21 If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.
6:22 As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.
6:23 Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.
6:24 But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.
6:25 Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.
7:1 I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth,
7:2 And in my mother’s womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep.
7:3 And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.
