Wisdom 6
- 1 Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth.
- 2 Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations.
- 3 For power is given you of the Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest, who shall try your works, and search out your counsels.
- 4 Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God;
- 5 Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places.
- 6 For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.
- 7 For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man’s person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man’s greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike.
- 8 But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.
- 9 Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away.
- 10 For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.
- 11 Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.
- 12 Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.
- 13 She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them.
- 14 Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.
- 15 To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care.
- 16 For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought.
- 17 For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;
- 18 And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption;
- 19 And incorruption maketh us near unto God:
- 20 Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.
- 21 If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.
- 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.
- 23 Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.
- 24 But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.
- 25 Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology and CatchWords, including Apocrypha (without glosses) (kjva - 3.1)
2023-07-19English (en)
This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.
Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.
