Proverbs 8:11-20

¹¹For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.

¹²I wisdom have made prudence my dwelling, And find out knowledge and discretion.

¹³The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate.

¹⁴Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge: I am understanding; I have might.

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 those that seek me diligently shall find me.

¹⁸Riches and honor are with me; Yea, durable wealth and righteousness.

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

²⁰I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;
