8:12–17 I am Wisdom; I dwell in watchfulness; I provide insight into the way of life. The godly reject evil. I reject even the paths to evil: the paths of pride, arrogance, and a lying tongue. My words are counsel and guide; I am understanding, and in me is strength. Through me flows all justice and righteousness; from me comes discernment and leadership. I love those who love me and reveal myself fully to those who search me out.73
