12 "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And I find knowledge and discretion.
13 "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverted mouth, I hate.
14 "Counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine.

16 "By me princes rule, and nobles, All who judge rightly.
17 "I love those who love me; And those who diligently seek me will find me.
