Proverbs 8:6-15
-
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
-
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
-
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
-
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
-
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
-
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
-
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
-
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
-
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
-
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
