Proverbs 8:13-18 New Century Version (NCV)

13. If you respect the Lord, you will also hate evil.I hate pride and bragging,evil ways and lies.

14. I have good sense and advice,and I have understanding and power.

15. I help kings to governand rulers to make fair laws.

16. Princes use me to lead,and so do all important people who judge fairly.

17. I love those who love me,and those who seek me find me.

18. Riches and honor are mine to give.So are wealth and lasting success.
