Proverbs

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.
