"I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.

King James Bible

American Standard Version

Young's Literal Translation
I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out.

Proverbs 8:12 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

I wisdom dwell with prudence - Prudence is defined, wisdom applied to practice; so wherever true wisdom is, it will lead to action, and its activity will be always in reference to the accomplishment of the best ends by the use of the most appropriate means. Hence comes what is here called knowledge of witty inventions, דעת מזמות אמצא daath mezimmoth emtsa, "I have found out knowledge and contrivance." The farther wisdom proceeds in man, the more practical knowledge it gains; and finding out the nature and properties of things, and the general course of providence, it can contrive by new combinations to produce new results.
