11For better is wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are not comparable with it.
12I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out.
13The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.
14Mine is counsel and substance, I am understanding, I have might.
15By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness,
16By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth.
