Proverbs 8:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ For skillful and godly Wisdom is better than rubies or pearls, and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.^(A)

¹² I, Wisdom [from God], make prudence my dwelling, and I find out knowledge and discretion.^(B)

¹³ The reverent fear and worshipful awe of the Lord [includes] the hatred of evil; pride, arrogance, the evil way, and perverted and twisted speech I hate.
