10 Recibid mi enseñanza, y no plata; y ciencia antes que el oro escogido.

11 Porque mejor es la sabiduría que las piedras preciosas; y todas las cosas que se pueden desear, no son de comparar con ella.

12 Yo, la sabiduría, habito con la discreción, y hallo la ciencia de los consejos.

13 El temor de Jehová es aborrecer el mal; la soberbia y la arrogancia, y el mal camino y la boca perversa, aborrezco.

14 Conmigo está el consejo y el ser; yo soy la inteligencia; mía es la fortaleza.
