And your vats will burst with new wine.
Proverbs 8:12 - 8:21

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

Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the mouth of perverted words, I hate.
14 Counsel is mine and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, might is mine.
15 By me kings reign,
And rulers mark out righteousness.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles,
All who judge rightly.
17 I love those who love me;
And those who earnestly seek me will find me.
18 Riches and glory are with me,
Enduring wealth and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than fine gold, even pure gold,
And my produce better than choice silver.
20 I walk in the path of righteousness,
In the midst of the pathways of justice,
21 To give those who love me an inheritance of wealth,
That I may fill their treasuries.
