¹² “I, wisdom, ^(A)dwell with prudence,
And I find ^(B)knowledge and discretion.
¹³ The ^(C)fear of Yahweh is to hate evil;
^(D)Pride and arrogance and ^(E)the evil way
And the mouth of ^[a](F)perverted words, I hate.
^14 (G)Counsel is mine and ^(H)sound wisdom;
I am understanding, ^(I)might is mine.
¹⁵ By me ^(J)kings reign,
And rulers mark out righteousness.
¹⁶ By me princes rule, and nobles,
All who judge rightly.
¹⁷ I ^(K)love those who love me;
And ^(L)those who earnestly seek me will find me.
^18 (M)Riches and glory are with me,
Enduring ^(N)wealth and righteousness.
