12 I wysdome haue my dwellynge wt knowlege, and prudent councell is myne owne. 13 With me is the feare of the LORDE, and ye eschuynge of euell. As for pryde, disdayne, an euell waye, & a mouth that speaketh wicked thiges, I vtterly abhorre the. 14 I can geue councell, and be a gyde: I haue vnderstondinge, I haue strength. 15 Thorow me, kynges reigne: thorow me, prices make iust lawes. 16 Thorow me, lordes beare rule, and all iudges of ye earth execute iudgmet. 17 I am louynge vnto those that loue me, and they that seke me early, shal fynde me. 18 Riches & honoure are wt me, yee excellent goodes & rightuousnes. 19 My frute is better the golde & precious stone, & myne encrease more worth then fyne syluer. 20 I walke in ye waye of rightuousnes, & in the strete of iudgment. 21 That I maye sende prosperite to those that loue me, & to encrease their treasure.
