Wisdom's Attributes and Rewards

Proverbs 8:12-21

I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.

To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.

Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight and strength.

By me kings reign, and rulers enact just laws;

By me princes rule, and all nobles who govern justly.

I love those who love me, and those who seek me early shall find me.

With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and righteousness.

My fruit is better than gold, pure gold, and my harvest surpasses choice silver.

I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,

bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.
