11 For wisdom is better than jewels, and all desires shall not compare with her.
12 I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of Yahweh is hatred of evil, pride, and arrogance and an evil way. And I hate a mouth of perversity.
14 Advice and sound judgment are mine; I am understanding, strength is mine.
15 By me kings reign, and rulers decree righteousness.
16 By me rulers rule, and nobles—all judges of righteousness.
17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently shall find me.
