9 They are upright to those who understand, and equitable to those who discover knowledge.
10 Accept my discipline, and not money. Choose the doctrine that is greater than gold.
11 For wisdom is better than all that is most precious, and everything that is desirable cannot compare to her.
12 I, wisdom, dwell in counsel, and I am inside learned thoughts.
13 The fear of the Lord hates evil. I detest arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
14 Counsel is mine, and equity. Prudence is mine. Strength is mine.
15 Through me, kings reign and legislators decree just conditions.
