13 The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue. The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and equity is mine, prudence is mine, strength is mine. I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength. Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power.
15 By me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things, By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; By me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just;
16 By me princes rule, and the mighty decree justice. by me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly. by me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth.
17 I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.
18 With me are riches and glory, glorious riches and justice. Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness. With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
19 For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver. My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment, I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice, I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,
21 That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures. granting an inheritance to those who love me, and filling their treasuries. bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full.
