Proverbs 8:10-19

10ReceiveH3947 my instructionH4148 instead ofH408 silverH3701, and knowledgeH1847 rather than pureH977 goldH2742.11ForH3588 wisdomH2451 is more preciousH2896 than rubiesH6443, and nothingH3605H3808 you desireH2656 comparesH7737 with her.

12IH589, wisdomH2451, dwell togetherH7931 with prudenceH6195,and I findH4672 knowledgeH1847 and discretionH4209.13To fearH3374 the LORDH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451;I hateH8130 arrogantH1347 prideH1344, evilH7451 conductH1870, and perverseH8419 speechH6310.14CounselH6098 and sound judgmentH8454 are mine;IH589 have insightH998 and strengthH1369.15By me kingsH4428 reignH4427,and rulersH7336 enact justH6664 lawsH2710;16By me princesH8269 ruleH8323,and allH3605 noblesH5081 who governH8199 justlyH6664.1
17IH589 loveH157 those who love meH157,and those who seek me earlyH7836 shall find meH4672.18With meH854 are richesH6239 and honorH3519,enduringH6276 wealthH1952 and righteousnessH6666.19My fruitH6529 is betterH2896 than goldH2742, pure goldH6337,and my harvestH8393 surpasses choiceH977 silverH3701.
