Proverbs 8:10-19

10ReceiveH3947 my instruction, and not silverH3701;And knowledgeH1847 rather than choice goldH2742.11For wisdomH2451 is betterH2896 than rubies;And all the things that may be desiredH2656 are not to be compared unto it.12I wisdomH2451 have made prudenceH6195 my dwellingH7931,And findH4672 out knowledgeH1847anddiscretionH4209.13The fearH3374 of Jehovah is to hateH8130 evilH7451:PrideH1347, and arrogancy, and the evilH7451 wayH1870,And the perverseH8419 mouthH6310, do I hateH8130.14CounselH6098 is mine, and soundH8454 knowledge:I am understandingH998; I have might.15By me kingsH4428 reignH4427,And princes decree justice.16By me princesH8269 ruleH8323,And noblesH5081, evenall the judgesH8199 of the earth.17I loveH157 them that loveH157 me;And those that seekH7836 me diligently shall findH4672 me.18RichesH6239 and honorH3519 are with me;Yea, durable wealthH1952 and righteousnessH6666.19My fruitH6529 is betterH2896 than goldH6337, yea, than fine goldH6337;And my revenue than choice silverH3701.
