Proverbs 8:12-18

Lexham English Bible

¹² I, wisdom, live with prudence,
    and I find knowledge and discretion.
¹³ The fear of Yahweh is hatred of evil,
    pride, and arrogance and an evil way.
    And I hate a mouth of perversity.
¹⁴ Advice and sound judgment^[a] are mine;
    I am understanding, strength is mine.^[b]
15 By me kings reign,
    and rulers decree righteousness.
¹⁶ By me rulers rule,
    and nobles—all judges of righteousness.
¹⁷ I love those who love me,^[c]
    and those who seek me diligently shall find me.
¹⁸ Fortune and glory are with me,
    enduring wealth and righteousness.
