Proverbs 8:11-21 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. Wisdom is better than pearls;nothing is more delightful than she.

12. I, Wisdom, dwell with prudence;I have found knowledge and discretion.

13. To fear the Lord is to hate evil.I hate pride and arrogance,the path of evil and corrupt speech.

14. I have advice and ability,as well as understanding and strength.

15. By me kings rule,and princes issue righteous decrees.

16. By me rulers govern,and officials judge righteously.

17. I love those who love me;those who seek me will find me.

18. Riches and honor are with me,as well as enduring wealth and righteousness.

19. My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold;my crops are better than choice silver.

20. I walk on the way of righteousness,on the paths of justice,

21. to provide for those who love meand to fill up their treasuries.
