Proverbs 8:6-21

⁶Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

⁷For my mouth shall utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

⁸All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

⁹They are all plain to him that understandeth, And right to them that find knowledge.

¹⁰Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.

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;

²¹That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.
