Proverbs 8:13-18
New International Version
13 To fear the Lord(A) is to hate evil;(B)
I hate(C) pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.(D)
15 By me kings reign
and rulers(E) issue decrees that are just;
16 by me princes govern,(F)
and nobles—all who rule on earth.[a]
17 I love those who love me,(G)
and those who seek me find me.(H)
18 With me are riches and honor,(I)
enduring wealth and prosperity.(J)
