Proverbs 8:11-19

¹¹For wisdom is better than pearls, And no precious things are to be compared with her.

¹²“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out the knowledge of sagacious counsels.

¹³The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, And the deceitful mouth, do I hate.

¹⁴Counsel is mine, and sound reason; I am understanding; I have strength.

¹⁵By me kings reign, And princes decree justice.

¹⁶By me princes rule, And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

¹⁷I love them that love me, And they who seek me early shall find me.

¹⁸Riches and honor are with me; Yea, durable riches and prosperity.

¹⁹My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold. And my revenue than choice silver.
