¹² “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
    I possess knowledge and discretion.^(A)
13 To fear the Lord^(B) is to hate evil;^(C)
    I hate^(D) pride and arrogance,
    evil behavior and perverse speech.
¹⁴ Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
    I have insight, I have power.^(E)
15 By me kings reign
    and rulers^(F) issue decrees that are just;
¹⁶ by me princes govern,^(G)
    and nobles—all who rule on earth.^[a]
