Proverbs 8:1-8 ▼

1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?

2 At the top of the elevated places along the way, at the intersection of the paths she takes her stand;

3 beside the gates opening into the city, at the entrance of the doorways she cries out:

4 To you, O people, I call out, and my voice calls to all mankind.

5 You who are naive, discern wisdom! And you fools, understand discernment!

6 Listen, for I will speak excellent things, and my lips will utter what is right.

7 For my mouth speaks truth, and my lips hate wickedness.

8 All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing in them twisted or crooked.
