12“I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.
13The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
14Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.
15By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
