Proverbs 8:10-19
10ReceiveH3947 my instructionH4148, and not silverH3701; and knowledgeH1847 rather than choiceH977 goldH2742.
11For wisdomH2451 is betterH2896 than rubiesH6443; and all the things that may be desiredH2656 are not to be comparedH7737 to it.
12I wisdomH2451 dwellH7931 with prudenceH6195, and find outH4672 knowledgeH1847 of witty inventionsH4209.1
13The fearH3374 of YhwhH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451: prideH1344, and arrogancyH1347, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the perverseH8419 mouthH6310, do I hateH8130.
14CounselH6098 is mine, and sound wisdomH8454: I am understandingH998; I have strengthH1369.
15By me kingsH4428 reignH4427, and princesH7336 decreeH2710 justiceH6664.
16By me princesH8269 ruleH8323, and noblesH5081, even all the judgesH8199 of the earthH776.
17I loveH157 them that loveH157 me; and those that seek me earlyH7836 shall findH4672 me.
18RichesH6239 and honourH3519 are with me; yea, durableH6276 richesH1952 and righteousnessH6666.
19My fruitH6529 is betterH2896 than goldH2742, yea, than fine goldH6337; and my revenueH8393 than choiceH977 silverH3701.
