Proverbs 8:11-21

11 afor wisdom is better than jewels,
and ball that you may desire cannot compare with her.
12 I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
and I find knowledge and cdiscretion.
13 dThe fear of the Lord is ehatred of evil.
fPride and arrogance and the way of evil
and gperverted speech I hate.
14I have hcounsel and isound wisdom;
I have insight; jI have strength.
15By me kkings reign,
and rulers decree what is just;
16by me princes rule,
and nobles, all who govern justly.
Most Hebrew manuscripts; many Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint  govern the earth

17 mI love those who love me,
and nthose who seek me diligently find me.
18 oRiches and honor are with me,
penduring wealth and qrighteousness.
19My fruit is rbetter than sgold, even fine gold,
and my yield than tchoice silver.
20I walk in the way of righteousness,
in the paths of justice,
21granting an inheritance to those who love me,
and filling their treasuries.
