Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom [is] better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
The fear of the LORD [is] to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am] understanding; I have strength.
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
By me princes rule, and nobles, [even] all the judges of the earth.
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
Riches and honour [are] with me; [yea], durable riches and righteousness.
My fruit [is] better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
