11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies,and nothing you desire can compare with her.
12 ‘I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;I possess knowledge and discretion.
13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil;I hate pride and arrogance,evil behaviour and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;I have insight, I have power.
15 By me kings reignand rulers issue decrees that are just;
16 by me princes govern,and nobles – all who rule on earth.
17 I love those who love me,and those who seek me find me.
