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 equal to it.

12I wisdomH2451 dwellH7931 [with] prudenceH6195, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 [which cometh] of reflection.

13The fearH3374 of Jehovah is to hateH8130 evilH7451; prideH1347, and arrogancy, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the froward mouthH6310 do I hateH8130.

14CounselH6098 is mine, and soundH8454 wisdomH8454: I am intelligence; I have strengthH1369.

15By me kingsH4428 reignH4427, and rulersH7336 make just decrees;

16by me princesH8269 ruleH8323, and noblesH5081, all the judgesH8199 of the earth.

17I loveH157 those that loveH157 me; and they that seekH7836 me early shall findH4672 me.

18RichesH6239 and honour are with me; durable wealthH1952 and righteousnessH6666.

19My fruitH6529 is betterH2896 than fine goldH6337, yea, than pureH6337 goldH6337; and my revenue than choice silverH3701.
