9 Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief. |
10 For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young. |
11 I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men. |
12 When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, and when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me: if I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth. |
13 Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me. |
14 I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me. |
15 Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war. |
