Proverbs
Chapters 8:9-15
New International Version Anglicized
9To the discerning all of them are right;they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
10Choose my instruction instead of silver,knowledge rather than choice gold,
11for 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.
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;
