Proverbs 8:4-13

4Unto youH413, O menH376, I callH7121; and my voiceH6963 is to the sonsH1121 of menH376.

5O ye simple, understandH995 subtilty; and, ye foolsH3684, be ye of an understandingH995 heartH3820.

6HearH8085, for I will speakH1696 excellent things; and the openingH4669 of my lipsH8193 shall be rightH4339 things.

7For my mouthH2441 shall utterH1897 truthH571; and wickednessH7562 is an abominationH8441 to my lipsH8193.

8AllH3605 the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310 are in righteousnessH6664; there is nothingH369 crookedH6141 or perverseH6141 in them.

9They are allH3605 plain to him that understandeth, and rightH3477 to them that findH4672 knowledgeH1847.

10ReceiveH3947 my instructionH4148, and notH408 silverH3701; and knowledgeH1847 ratherH408 thanH408 choiceH977 goldH2742.

11For wisdomH2451 is betterH2896 thanH3808 rubies; and allH3605 the things that may be desiredH2656 are notH3808 to be compared unto herH3605.

12I wisdomH2451 have made subtilty my dwellingH7931, and findH4672 outH4672 knowledgeH1847 and discretionH4209.

13The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451: prideH1347, and arrogancy, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the froward mouthH6310, doH1870 I hateH8130.
