11 For wisdom is better than jewels, nothing you desire compares with her.
12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and acquire knowledge with discretion.
13 To fear Adonai is to hate evil. I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and a perverse mouth.
14 Counsel and sound wisdom are mine. I have understanding and power.
15 By me kings reign and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes govern, and all nobles who judge righteously.
17 I love those who love me. Those who earnestly seek me find me.
