Proverbs 8:11 Context
9They are all plaine to him that vnderstandeth: and right to them that find knowledge. 10Receiue my instruction, and not siluer: and knowledge rather then choise gold. 11For wisedome is better then rubies: and all the things that may be desired, are not to be compared to it. 12I wisedome dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inuentions. 13The feare of the Lord is to hate euill: pride and arrogancie, and the euill way, and the froward mouth doe I hate.
