The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 8:10-16

  1. Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

  2. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

  3. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

  4. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

  5. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

  6. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

  7. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
