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)
