Proverbs 8:10-19

10Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold,

11for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.

12"I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.

13The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

14I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength.

15By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just;

16by me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly.

17I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.

18Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness.

19My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.
