Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
She stands in the top of high places,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
she cries at the gates,
at the entry of the city,
at the entrances,
she cries aloud:
Unto you, O men, I call;
and my voice is to the sons of man.
O you simple,
understand wisdom;
and you fools,
be you of an understanding heart.
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things;
I open up my lips to speak what is right.
For my mouth shall speak truth;
and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
there is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
They are all plain to him that understands,
and right to them that find knowledge.
Receive my instructions,
and not silver;
and knowledge
rather than choice gold,
for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
