12 I wisdom have created prudence, and I posses knowledge and reason. 13 Reverence of the LORD despises evil; pride, arrogance, evil ways, and perverse speech do I hate. 14 counsel and sound doctrine are mine; mine is understanding and might. 15 By me kings reign and princes decree justice. 16 By me princes and nobles rule, even all the righteous judges of the earth. 17 I love those who love me; and those who seek me shall find me. 18 Riches and honor are mine; yea, enduring riches and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than fine gold, and my ingathering than choice silver. 20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice, 21 That I may cause those that love me to have hope; and I will fill their treasuries. Proverbs 8:12-21, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
