14 I have (A)counsel and (B)sound wisdom;
    I have insight; (C)I have strength.
15 By me (D)kings reign,
    and rulers decree what is just;
16 by me princes rule,
    and nobles, all who govern justly.[a]
17 (E)I love those who love me,
    and (F)those who seek me diligently find me.
18 (G)Riches and honor are with me,
    (H)enduring wealth and (I)righteousness.
