12 I wisdom have made prudence my dwelling,
And find out [a]knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil:
Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,
And the perverse mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and [b]sound knowledge:
I am understanding; I have might.
15 By me kings reign,
And princes decree justice.
16 By me [c]princes rule,
And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me;
And those that seek me [d]diligently shall find me.
18 Riches and honor are with me;
Yea, [e]durable wealth and righteousness.
