11 Wisdom is more precious than rubies.Nothing you could want is equal to it.
12 “I am wisdom, and I have good judgment.I also have knowledge and good sense.
13 If you respect the Lord, you will also hate evil.I hate pride and bragging,evil ways and lies.
14 I have good sense and advice,and I have understanding and power.
15 I help kings to governand rulers to make fair laws.
16 Princes use me to lead,and so do all important people who judge fairly.
17 I love those who love me,and those who seek me find me.
