If you've got access to the Advanced Player's Guide, take a look at the Oracle class and the Rage Prophet prestige class. In 2e terms, it's like a multi-classed Barbarian/Specialty Priest.
Otherwise, this looks like a good set of stats for a cleric or druid. A cleric with a number of knowledge skills is welcome. The other possibility would be to start as a Monk, making your way to the Duelist prestige class. Then you get to add both Wisdom and Intelligence bonuses to AC.
I would go with fighter.
The high int will make for allowing good combo of interesting feats, and give you plenty of skill ranks, the wis will give you a better will save that fighters always seem to lack
Put your +2 in con and the human +2 in con (if thats how your playing) for better hit points.
the other option is Barbarian for all the same reasons and +2, +2 the con again.
If you can download it, you could also play a beta magus, good int, decent str, make him an elf which would give you (buy your build rules) a +2 for str (my suggestion) a +2 for int and a +2 for dex, with a -2 for con. Which is only -1 hp, use your prefered class bouns to offset that -1 hp.
Upon reaching 4th level, buy off the 9 con to 10, and pick up extra Hps to boot.
The Magus can benefit from the wis just like the melee types in improved will saves.

Bad idea, his charisma is base 12.
Monk is a little better, but most decent monks emphasise strength over wisdom. If you can get it up to a 19, it might be ok. Low con and a fairly low HD will bite you in the end though.

Monk's actually a very good choice. He get's a floating +2 (put to str makes it 17), then another from human (if he goes human) can go into Con or Dex. At 4th level he puts 1 into str for 18, and at 8th into wis for 18. It's a very good monk stat array honestly.

Oh, right. I might still suggest a battle cleric, and the druid would also work well with this build. You don't need Charisma for a druid like you did in 2e, and you can rely on Wild Shape for AC and Con boosts and go into combat that way.

Yeah, I'd go Monk or Cleric as well. Probably Cleric for me personally. Definitely put your floating +2 in Strength in either case, though.
A melee Alchemist focusing on Str and Int is also viable, but the Wis would be largely wasted, whereas the Int's quite nice for both the Cleric and Monk.
EDIT: Ooh, Miryam is right, a Druid's a very viable choice, too.
A Zen Archer Monk has his attack rolls based upon wisdom, so that's a nice option, and your strength is still respectable for additional damage. You could also just dip into Zen Archer Monk for as little as 3 levels to pick up his Zen Archery Ability. (Not to mention Weapon Focus, Point Blank Master, Perfect Strike... tons of stuff.) Stick around for as many as 12 levels and then proceed into another class like Inquistor.
...and of course a pure Cleric or Druid is great too, especially given what Mike said. (22 wisdom by level 4? Without any enhancement bonuses? Nice. O_O)
An alchemist could be an interesting choice with these stats. Intelligence drives their class abilities, and a high strength makes it easier to carry all the stuff you need to be a true terror on the battlefield. Skillwise, it sets you up quite nicely for a good Perception, Climb, Swim, and other related skills that let you see a fight coming and move around the battlefield easily. I would put the free +2 in Dex to get decent at Acrobatics and Fly, not to mention initiative and AC. With a mutagen to further your Dex higher as needed, such a character could be a bomb throwing terror.
