10 “Accept my discipline, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 “For wisdom is better than rubies, And all delights are not comparable to her.
12 “I, wisdom, have dwelt with insight, And I find knowledge, foresight.
13 “The fear of יהוה is to hate evil. I have hated pride and arrogance, And the evil way, And the perverse mouth.
14 “Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, mightiness is mine.
15 “By me sovereigns reign, And rulers make righteous decrees.
16 “By me princes rule, and nobles, All the judges of the earth.
