The fear of the Lord is seen in hating evil: pride, a high opinion of oneself, the evil way, and the false tongue, are unpleasing to me. Wise design and good sense are mine; reason and strength are mine. Through me kings have their power, and rulers give right decisions. Through me chiefs have authority, and the noble ones are judging in righteousness. Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me. Wealth and honour are in my hands, even wealth without equal and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, even than the best gold; and my increase is more to be desired than silver.
