Previous Verses: 10 “Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge [perception, discernment] rather than choice gold. 11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. 12 I wisdom dwell with prudence [subtilty], and find out knowledge [of witty inventions [and discretion]. 13 The fear [respect, reverence] of the LORD [The Almighty, Yahweh, Self-Existent One] is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward [perverse] mouth do I hate.”
