Proverbs 8:1-8 ▼

1 Doth not wisdom cry aloud, and prudence put forth her voice ?

2 Standing in the top of the highest places by the way, in the midst of the paths.

3 Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying:

4 O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.

5 O little ones, understand subtilty, and ye unwise, take notice.

6 Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things.

7 My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness.

8 All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.
