wis 6.20 she seems harsh to the undisciplined

^* For the first step toward Wisdom is an earnest desire for discipline;ⁱ

18then, care for discipline is love of her;

love means the keeping of her laws;

To observe her laws is the basis for incorruptibility;

19and incorruptibility makes one close to God;

20thus the desire for Wisdom leads to a kingdom.

21If, then, you find pleasure in throne and scepter, you princes of peoples,

honor Wisdom, that you may reign as kings forever.
