Proverbs 8
Therefore preach wisdom, and understanding will answer you.
2 For wisdom is on the top of high places, she stands between the ways and by the paths.
3 She cries at the gates, at the entrance of the city; she cries aloud, saying,
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of men,
5 So that the simple ones may understand prudence and the fools understand their heart.
6 Hear, for I will speak truth; and the opening of my mouth shall bring forth uprightness.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth, and lying lips are an abomination before me.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing perverse or deceptive in them.
9 They are all plain to him who understands them, and right to those who are willing to find knowledge.
10 Receive discipline and not silver; and choose for yourself knowledge rather than fine gold.
11 For wisdom is much better than fine gold; yea, she is better than precious stones, and nothing can be compared to her.
