12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And I find knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil;
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.
