Proverbs 8:9-16

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 equal to it.

¹²I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find the knowledge which cometh of reflection.

¹³The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth do I hate.

¹⁴Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am intelligence; I have strength.

¹⁵By me kings reign, and rulers make just decrees;

¹⁶by me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the earth.
