12  I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of devices.

12  I, wisdom, dwell in counsel, and I am inside learned thoughts.

12  I wisdom have created prudence, and I posses knowledge and reason.

13  The fear of YHWH is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

13  The fear of the Lord hates unrighteousness, and insolence, and pride, and the ways of wicked men; and I hate the perverse ways of bad men.

13  Reverence of the LORD despises evil; pride, arrogance, evil ways, and perverse speech do I hate.

14  Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine.

14  Counsel and safety are mine; prudence is mine, and strength is mine.

15  By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

15  Through me, kings reign and legislators decree just conditions.

16  By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

16  By me nobles become great, and monarchs by me rule over the earth.

16  Through me, princes rule and the powerful decree justice.

17  I love them that love me, and those that seek me earnestly shall find me.

17  I love those who love me. And those who stand watch for me until morning shall discover me.

18  Riches and honour are with me; yea, enduring riches and righteousness.

18  Wealth and glory belong to me; yea, abundant possessions and righteousness.

18  With me, are wealth and glory, superb riches and justice.

19  My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my produce than choice silver.

19  It is better to have my fruit than to have gold and precious stones; and my produce is better than choice silver.

19  For my fruit is better than gold and precious stones, and my progeny better than choice silver.

20  I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice;

21  That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and that I may fill their treasuries.

21  that I may divide substance to them that love me, and may fill their treasures with good things. If I declare to you the things that daily happen, I will remember also to recount the things of old.

21  so that I may enrich those who love me, and thus complete their treasures.
