Proverbs 8:10-17

¹⁰Accept my correction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

¹¹For wisdom is better than pearls; and all the things that men wish for are not equal to her.

¹²I wisdom dwell with prudence, and the knowledge of discreet thoughts do I discover.

¹³The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, pride and arrogance, and the evil way: and the mouth of perverseness do I hate.

¹⁴Mine are counsel and sound wisdom: I am understanding; mine is might.

¹⁵Through me do kings reign, and chieftains give decrees in righteousness.

¹⁶Through me do princes rule, and the nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

¹⁷I indeed love those that love me: and those that seek me earnestly shall find me.
