Proverbs 8:12

Read in context

Proverbs 8:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.

11 For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her.

12 I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.

13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.

14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight and strength.
