¹¹ I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

¹² When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

¹² “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and disclose knowledge of learned thoughts.

¹⁵ By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

¹⁶ By me princes rule and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

¹⁷ I love them that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me.

¹⁸ Riches and honor are with me, yea, durable riches and righteousness.
