Proverbs 8:6-21

⁶Hear ye, for I shall speak of great things; and my lips shall be opened, to preach rightful or even things.

⁷My throat shall bethink truth; and my lips shall curse a wicked man.

⁸My words be just; no shrewd thing, neither wayward is in those.

⁹They be rightful or right to them that understand; and they be even to them that find knowing.

¹⁰Take ye my chastising or my discipline, and not money; choose ye teaching, more than treasure.

¹¹For wisdom is better than all riches most precious; and all desirable thing may not be comparisoned thereto.

¹²I, wisdom, dwell in counsel; and I am among learned thoughts.

¹³The dread of the Lord hateth evil; I curse boast, and pride, and a shrewd way, and a double-tongued mouth.

¹⁴Counsel is mine, and equity; prudence is mine, and strength.

¹⁵Kings reign by me; and makers of laws deem just things by me.

¹⁶Princes command by me; and mighty men deem rightfulness or rightwiseness by me.

¹⁷I love them that love me; and they that wake early to me, shall find me.

¹⁸With me be riches, and glory; sovereign riches, and rightfulness or rightwiseness.

¹⁹My fruit is better than gold, and precious stone; and my seeds or my burgeonings be better than chosen silver.

²⁰I go in the ways of rightfulness or rightwiseness, in the midst of the paths of doom;

²¹that I make rich them that love me, and that I fill their treasures or their treasuries.
