13The fear of the Lord hates unrighteousness, and insolence, and pride, and the ways of wicked men; and I hate the perverse ways of bad men.
14Counsel and safety are my; prudence is my, and strength is my.
15By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16By me nobles become great, and monarchs by me rule over the earth.
17I love those that love me; and they that seek me shall find me.
18Wealth and glory belong to me; yes, abundant possessions and righteousness.
19It is better to have my fruit than to have gold and precious stones; and my produce is better than choice silver.
20I walk in ways of righteousness, and am conversant with the paths of judgement;
21that I may divide substance to them that love me, and may fill their treasures with good things. If I declare to you the things that daily happen, I will remember also to recount the things of old.
22The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.
23He established me before time was in the beginning, before he made the earth:
24even before he made the depths; before the fountains of water came forth:
25before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, he begets me.
26The Lord made countries and uninhabited tracks, and the highest inhabited parts of the world.
27When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:
28and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:
29decree. and when he strengthened the foundations of the earth:
30I was by him, suiting myself to him, I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.
31For he rejoiced when he had completed the world, and rejoiced amongst the children of men.
32Now then, my son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall listen to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;
