11 For wisdom is better than rubies,And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,And find out knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;Pride and arrogance and the evil wayAnd the perverse mouth I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;I am understanding, I have strength.
15 By me kings reign,And rulers decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles,All the judges of the earth.
17 I love those who love me,And those who seek me diligently will find me.
