Proverbs 8:12-24 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

12. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge and discretion.

13. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the perverse 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 honor 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 justice:

21. That I may cause those that love me to inherit wealth; and I will fill their treasuries.

22. The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth was.

24. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
