Proverbs 8:13-15

The Voice

¹³     If you respect the Eternal, you will grow to despise evil.
    I despise wretched, vile talk
        and ways of pride and arrogance.
¹⁴     Good counsel is mine, and also true wisdom.
        I am understanding, and strength belongs to me.
¹⁵     It’s because of me that kings wield power
        and authorities decree what is right.
