Proverbs
Chapters 8:11-17
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
11Wisdom is better than pearls, and nothing you desire compares with her.
12“I am Wisdom. I live with Good Judgment. I am at home with Knowledge and Planning.
13To respect the Lord means to hate evil. I hate pride and boasting, evil lives and hurtful words.
14I have good advice and common sense to offer. I have understanding and power.
15With my help kings rule, and governors make good laws.
16With my help leaders govern, and important officials make good decisions.
17I love those who love me, and those who look for me will find me.
