Berean Standard Bible

Proverbs 8:10-19

10Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.11For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her.

12I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence,and I find knowledge and discretion.13To fear the LORD is to hate evil;I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.14Counsel and sound judgment are mine;I have insight and strength.15By me kings reign,and rulers enact just laws;16By me princes rule,and all nobles who govern justly.1

17I love those who love me,and those who seek me early shall find me.18With me are riches and honor,enduring wealth and righteousness.19My fruit is better than gold, pure gold,and my harvest surpasses choice silver.
