Proverbs 8:8-13

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

⁹They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge.

¹⁰Receive instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than tried gold.

¹¹For wisdom is better than precious stones; and no valuable substance is of equal worth with it.

¹²I wisdom have dwelt with counsel and knowledge, and I have called upon understanding.

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.
