KTU 1.6
Cuneiform Texts from UgaritShapsh cried to Mot: “Listen, pray, O divine Mot! How can you fight with Valiant Baal? How will Bull El your father not hear you? He will surely pull down the pillars of your dwelling, he will surely overturn the throne of your kingship, he will surely break the scepter of your rule!” Divine Mot was afraid; the Beloved of El, the hero, was in dread. Mot started at her voice and lifted up his voice and cried: “Let Baal be installed on the throne of his kingship, on the back-rest, on the siege of his dominion!”
Proverbs 8:15
13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride and the evil way and perverse utterances. 14 Counsel and sound wisdom belong to me; I possess understanding and might. 15 By me, kings reign, and by me, potentates decree righteousness; 16 by me, princes rule, as well as nobles and all righteous judges. 17 I will love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.
Notes and References
"... El’s wisdom was in knowing how the cosmos ought to function and how to facilitate this end. This is suggested by the appointment of gods and kings to their offices. Mot, Yam, Baal, and human rulers owed their positions to El. In the inconclusive battle between Baal and Mot, it was El who decided the outcome of the fray ... in the texts there is an acknowledged recognition of El’s wisdom in carrying on the business of the gods and human rulers. The assembly of the gods (from the little that is known about its make-up, organization, and function) is presented as having been under the formal rule of El ..."
