Proverbs 8:12-21
New International Version
12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.(A)
13 To fear the Lord(B) is to hate evil;(C)
I hate(D) pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.(E)
15 By me kings reign
and rulers(F) issue decrees that are just;
16 by me princes govern,(G)
and nobles—all who rule on earth.[a]
17 I love those who love me,(H)
and those who seek me find me.(I)
18 With me are riches and honor,(J)
enduring wealth and prosperity.(K)
19 My fruit is better than fine gold;(L)
what I yield surpasses choice silver.(M)
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,(N)
along the paths of justice,
21 bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.(O)
