Proverbs 8:12-21 ▼

12 I wisdome dwell with prudence, and I find foorth knowledge and counsels.

13 The feare of the Lord is to hate euill as pride, and arrogancie, and the euill way: and a mouth that speaketh lewde things, I doe hate.

14 I haue counsell and wisedome: I am vnderstanding, and I haue strength.

15 By me, Kings reigne, and princes decree iustice.

16 By me princes rule and the nobles, and all the iudges of the earth.

17 I loue them that loue me: and they that seeke me earely, shall finde me.

18 Riches and honour are with me: euen durable riches and righteousnesse.

19 My fruite is better then golde, euen then fine golde, and my reuenues better then fine siluer.

20 I cause to walke in the way of righteousnes, and in the middes of the paths of iudgement,

21 That I may cause them that loue me, to inherite substance, and I will fill their treasures.
