Proverbs 8:4-9

4“To you, people, I call, And my voice is to 1mankind.5You 2naive ones, understand prudence; And, you 3fools, understand 4wisdom!6Listen, for I will speak 5noble things; And the opening of my lips will reveal 6right things.7For my 7mouth will proclaim truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing 8crooked or perverted in them.9They are all 9straightforward to him who understands, And right to those who 10find knowledge.
