Proverbs 8:4-12

4Unto you, O menH376, I callH7121; and my voiceH6963 is to the sonsH1121 of manH120.

5O ye simpleH6612, understandH995 wisdomH6195: and, ye foolsH3684, be ye of an understandingH995 heartH3820.

6HearH8085; for I will speakH1696 of excellent thingsH5057; and the openingH4669 of my lipsH8193 shall be right thingsH4339.

7For my mouthH2441 shall speakH1897 truthH571; and wickednessH7562 is an abominationH8441 to my lipsH8193.1

8All the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310 are in righteousnessH6664; there is nothing crookedH6617 or perverseH6141 in them.2

9They are all plainH5228 to him that understandethH995, and rightH3477 to them that findH4672 knowledgeH1847.

10ReceiveH3947 my instructionH4148, and not silverH3701; and knowledgeH1847 rather than choiceH977 goldH2742.

11For wisdomH2451 is betterH2896 than rubiesH6443; and all the things that may be desiredH2656 are not to be comparedH7737 to it.

12I wisdomH2451 dwellH7931 with prudenceH6195, and find outH4672 knowledgeH1847 of witty inventionsH4209.3
