Proverbs 8:12-21

Young's Literal Translation

¹² I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out.

¹³ The fear of Jehovah [is] to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.

¹⁴ Mine [is] counsel and substance, I [am] understanding, I have might.

¹⁵ By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness,

¹⁶ By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth.

¹⁷ I love those loving me, And those seeking me earnestly do find me.

¹⁸ Wealth and honour [are] with me, Lasting substance and righteousness.

¹⁹ Better [is] my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.

²⁰ In a path of righteousness I cause to walk, In midst of paths of judgment,

²¹ To cause my lovers to inherit substance, Yea, their treasures I fill.
