Proverbs 8:4-12

4Unto you, O menH376, I callH7121;And my voiceH6963 is to the sonsH1121 of menH376.5O ye simple, understandH995 prudenceH6195;And, ye foolsH3684, be of an understandingH995 heartH3820.6HearH8085, for I will speakH1696 excellent things;And the opening of my lipsH8193 shall be right things.7For my mouthH2441 shall utterH1897 truthH571;And wickednessH7562 is an abominationH8441 to my lipsH8193.8All the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310 are in righteousnessH6664;There is nothingH369 crooked or perverseH6141 in them.9They are all plain to him that understandeth,And rightH3477 to them that findH4672 knowledgeH1847.10ReceiveH3947 my instruction, and not silverH3701;And knowledgeH1847 rather than choice goldH2742.11For wisdomH2451 is betterH2896 than rubies;And all the things that may be desiredH2656 are not to be compared unto it.12I wisdomH2451 have made prudenceH6195 my dwellingH7931,And findH4672 out knowledgeH1847anddiscretionH4209.
