Wisdom of Solomon 8:9 Context
7And if a man loue righteousnesse, her labours are vertues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence: iustice and fortitude, which are such things as men can haue nothing more profitable in their life. 8If a man desire much experience: she knoweth things of old, and coniectureth aright what is to come: shee knoweth the subtilties of speaches, and can expound darke sentences: she foreseeth signes and wonders, and the euents of seasons and times. 9Therefore I purposed to take her to me to liue with mee, knowing that shee would be a counsellour of good things, and a comfort in cares & griefe. 10For her sake I shall haue estimation among the multitude, and honour with the Elders, though I be yong. 11I shall be found of a quicke conceit in iudgement, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.
