Proverbs 8:4-13

4Unto you, menH376, I callH7121, and my voiceH6963 is to the sonsH1121 of manH376:

5O ye simple, understandH995 prudenceH6195; and ye foolish, understandH995 sense.

6HearH8085, for I will speakH1696 excellent things, and the opening of my lipsH8193 shall be right things.

7For my palateH2441 shall meditateH1897 truthH571, and wickednessH7562 is an abominationH8441 to my lipsH8193.

8All the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310 are in righteousnessH6664; there is nothingH369 tortuous 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 equal to it.

12I wisdomH2451 dwellH7931 [with] prudenceH6195, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 [which cometh] of reflection.

13The fearH3374 of Jehovah is to hateH8130 evilH7451; prideH1347, and arrogancy, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the froward mouthH6310 do I hateH8130.
