13 O temor ao SENHOR é odiar o mal: a soberba e a arrogância, o mal caminho e a boca perversa, eu [os] odeio.

14 A mim pertence o conselho e a verdadeira sabedoria; eu [tenho] prudência e poder.

15 Por meio de mim os reis governam, e os príncipes decretam justiça.

16 Por meio de mim os governantes dominam; e autoridades, todos os juízes justos.

17 Eu amo os que me amam; e os que me buscam intensamente me acharão.
