Proverbs 8:16
By me princes rule, And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
In context
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the froward mouth, do I hate. 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. 15 By me kings reign, And princes decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, And nobles, even all the judges of the earth. 17 I love them that love me; And those that seek me early shall find me. 18 Riches and honour are with me; Yea, durable riches and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my revenue than choice silver.
