Wisdom of Solomon 9:12
King James VersionSource notes
“So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father’s seat.”
Context
9And wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.
10O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.
11For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.
12So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father’s seat.
13For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?
14For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.
15For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.
