Wisdom 6:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁹ To you then, O monarchs, my words are directed,
so that you may learn wisdom and not transgress.
¹⁰ For they will be made holy who observe holy things in holiness,
and those who have been taught them will find a defence.
¹¹ Therefore set your desire on my words;
long for them, and you will be instructed.
