Wisdom's Attributes and Rewards

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.

16

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

17

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

18

Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

19

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

20

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

21

That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
