PROVERBS 8:9-18

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 her.

¹²I wisdom have made subtilty my dwelling, and find out knowledge and discretion.

¹³The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward 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 honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
