Proverbs

⁹These things are clear to any intelligent person. They are right to anyone with knowledge. ¹⁰Choose discipline over silver and knowledge over the finest gold. 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.
