Proverbs 8:10-19

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.

17I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me.

18Riches and honour are with me; durable wealth and righteousness.

19My fruit is better than fine gold, yea, than pure gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
