Proverbs
Chapters 8:13-19
New International Version Anglicized
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.
19My fruit is better than fine gold;what I yield surpasses choice silver.
