Proverbs 8:11-20

¹¹For wisdome is better then precious stones: and all pleasures are not to be compared vnto her.

¹²I wisdome dwell with prudence, and I find foorth knowledge and counsels.

¹³The feare of the Lord is to hate euill as pride, and arrogancie, and the euill way: and a mouth that speaketh lewde things, I doe hate.

¹⁴I haue counsell and wisedome: I am vnderstanding, and I haue strength.

¹⁵By me, Kings reigne, and princes decree iustice.

¹⁶By me princes rule and the nobles, and all the iudges of the earth.

¹⁷I loue them that loue me: and they that seeke me earely, shall finde me.

¹⁸Riches and honour are with me: euen durable riches and righteousnesse.

¹⁹My fruite is better then golde, euen then fine golde, and my reuenues better then fine siluer.

²⁰I cause to walke in the way of righteousnes, and in the middes of the paths of iudgement,
