Proverbs 8:12 - 8:18


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.
