Proverbs 8:10-19

10Accept my 1instruction and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold.11For wisdom is 2better than 3jewels; And 4all desirable things cannot compare with her.

12“I, wisdom, 5dwell with prudence, And I find 6knowledge and discretion.13The 7fear of the Lord is to hate evil; 8Pride, arrogance, 9the evil way, And the 10perverted mouth, I hate.14 11Advice is mine and 12sound wisdom; I am understanding, 13power is mine.15By me 14kings reign, And rulers decree justice.16By me princes rule, and nobles, All who judge rightly.17I 15love those who love me; And 16those who diligently seek me will find me.18 17Riches and honor are with me, Enduring 18wealth and righteousness.19My fruit is 19better than gold, even pure gold; And my yield better than 20choice silver.
