Proverbs 8:12-21 ▼

12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge of devices.

13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the froward mouth, do I hate.

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine.

15 By me kings reign, And princes decree justice.

16 By me princes rule, And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

17 I love them that love me, And those that seek me earnestly shall find me.

18 Riches and honour are with me; Yea, enduring riches and righteousness.

19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my produce than choice silver.

20 I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;

21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.
