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 one may desire cannot be compared with her.

12“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge and discretion.

13The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.

14Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength.

15By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice.

16By me princes rule, and nobles, All the judges of the earth.

17I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.

18Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness.

19My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver.
