Proverbs
Chapters 8:12-18
Amplified Bible
12I, Wisdom [from God], make prudence my dwelling, and I find out knowledge and discretion. [James 1:5.]
13The reverent fear and worshipful awe of the Lord [includes] the hatred of evil; pride, arrogance, the evil way, and perverted and twisted speech I hate.
14I have counsel and sound knowledge, I have understanding, I have might and power.
15By me kings reign and rulers decree justice. [Dan. 2:21; Rom. 13:1.]
16By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges and governors of the earth.
17I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me. [I Sam. 2:30; Ps. 91:14; John 14:21; James 1:5.]
18Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation, and right standing with God). [Prov. 3:16; Matt. 6:33.]
