Sabiduría 6 King James Bible (1769) | 25 versitos |
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.

Sabiduría 6,1-25

Chapter VI.

1 Kings must giue eare. 3 They haue their power from God, 5 Who will not spare them. 12 Wisedome is soone found. 21 Princes must seeke for it: 24 For a wise Prince is the stay of his people.
1 Heare therefore, O yee kings, and vnderstand, learne yee that be iudges of the ends of the earth.
2 Giue eare you that rule the people,
and glory in the multitude of nations.
3 For [ Rom_13:1-2.] power is giuen you of the Lord, & soueraigntie from the Highest, who shall try your workes; and search out your counsels.
4 Because being Ministers of his kingdome, you haue not iudged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsell of God,
5 Horribly and speedily shall he come vpon you: for a sharpe iudgement shall be to them that be in high places.
6 For mercy will soone pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.
7 For he which is Lord ouer all, shall feare no [ 2Ch_19:17; Deu_10:17; Job_34:19; Ecclesiastes 35.12-16; Act_10:24; Rom_2:11; Gal_2:6; Eph_6:9; Col_3:25; 1Pe_1:17.] mans person: neither shall he stand in awe of any mans greatnesse: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike.
8 But a sore triall shall come vpon the mighty.
9 Unto you therefore, O kings, doe I speake, that yee may learne wisedome, and not fall away.
10 For they that keepe holinesse holily, shall be [ Or, iustified.] iudged holy: and they that haue learned such things, shall find [ Or, a defence.] what to answere.
11 Wherefore set your affection vpon my words, desire them, and yee shall be instructed.
12 Wisedome is glorious and neuer fadeth away: yea she is easily seene of them that loue her, and found of such as seeke her.
13 She preuenteth them that desire her, in making herselfe first knowen vnto them.
14 Whoso seeketh her earely, shall haue no great trauaile: for he shall find her sitting at his doores.
15 To thinke therefore vpon her is perfection of wisedome: and who so watcheth for her, shall quickly be without care.
16 For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herselfe fauourably vnto them in the wayes, and meeteth them in euery thought.
17 For the very true beginning of her, is the desire of [ Or, nurture.] discipline, and the care of discipline is loue:
18 And loue is the keeping of her lawes; and the giuing heed vnto her lawes, is the assurance of incorruption.
19 And incorruption maketh vs neere vnto God.
20 Therefore the desire of wisedome bringeth to a kingdome.
21 If your delight be then in thrones and scepters, O ye kings of the people, honour wisedome that yee may raigne for euermore.
22 As for wisedome what she is, and how she came vp, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seeke her out from the beginning of her natiuity, & bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not passe ouer the trueth.
23 Neither will I goe with consuming enuy: for such a man shall haue no fellowship with wisedome.
24 But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the vpholding of the people.
25 Receiue therefore instruction thorough my words, and it shall doe you good.
