12 I wysdome dwell with counsell, and finde out knowledge and vnderstanding. 13 The feare of the Lorde abhorreth wickednes, pryde, disdayne, and the euil way, and a mouth that speaketh wicked thinges I vtterly abhorre. 14 Counsell is mine, and direction, I am vnderstanding, and I haue strength. 15 Through me kinges raigne, and princes make iust lawes. 16 By me princes beare rule, and noble men do iudge the earth. 17 I am louing vnto those that loue me: and they that seeke me early, shall finde me. 18 Riches and honour are with me, yea durable riches and righteousnes. 19 My fruite is better then golde and pretious stones, and mine encrease more worth then fine siluer. 20 I wyll guyde thee in the way of righteousnes, and in the midst of the pathes of iudgement: 21 That I maye stablishe the inhetaunce of them that loue me, and encrease their treasure.
