12 I wisdom dwelt with prudence, and I shall find the knowledge of machinations. 13 The fear of Jehovah hates evil: pride and haughtiness, and the evil way, and the mouth of perverseness I hated. 14 To me counsel and wisdom: I am understanding; to me is strength. 15 By me kings shall reign, and princes shall decree justice. 16 By me chiefs shall have dominion, and nobles all judging the earth. 17 I loved those loving me: and they seeking me shall find me. 18 Riches and honor are with me; splendid riches and justice. 19 My fruit is good above gold, and above pure gold; and my gain above tried silver. 20 I shall go in the way of justice, in the midst of the beaten paths of judgment: 21 To cause those loving me to inherit existence: and I will fill their treasures.
