12I, wisdom, am at home with good decisions. I know how to find knowledge and discernment.
13Honoring the Lord means hating evil. So I hate pride and arrogance, wicked behavior and telling lies.
14I have advice and good judgment; I know what makes sense, and I have power.
15It's because of me that kings reign, and rulers issue fair decrees.
16It's because of me that leaders and nobles govern—all who rule justly.
