Wisdom's Attributes and Rewards

Proverbs 8:12-21

I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out.

The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.

Mine is counsel and substance, I am understanding, I have might.

By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness,

By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth.

I love those loving me, And those seeking me earnestly do find me.

Wealth and honour are with me, Lasting substance and righteousness.

Better is my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.

In a path of righteousness I cause to walk, In midst of paths of judgment,

To cause my lovers to inherit substance, Yea, their treasures I fill.
