Proverbs
Chapters 8:12-18
New International Version Anglicized
12‘I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;I possess knowledge and discretion.
13To fear the Lord is to hate evil;I hate pride and arrogance,evil behaviour and perverse speech.
14Counsel and sound judgment are mine;I have insight, I have power.
15By me kings reignand rulers issue decrees that are just;
16by me princes govern,and nobles – all who rule on earth.
17I love those who love me,and those who seek me find me.
18With me are riches and honour,enduring wealth and prosperity.
