11. For wisdom is better than jewels, and all desires shall not compare with her.
12. I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.
13. The fear of Yahweh is hatred of evil, pride, and arrogance and an evil way. And I hate a mouth of perversity.
14. Advice and sound judgment are mine; I am understanding, strength is mine.
15. By me kings reign, and rulers decree righteousness.
16. By me rulers rule, and nobles—all judges of righteousness.
17. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently shall find me.
18. Fortune and glory are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness.
19. My fruit is better than gold, even refined gold, and my yield than choice silver.
20. In the way of righteousness I walk, in the midst of paths of justice,
21. in order to endow those who love me with wealth, and I will fill their treasuries.
