Proverbs 8:1-8 ▼

1 Doth not wisdom call? And understanding give forth her voice?

2 At the head of high places by the way, Between the paths she hath stood,

3 At the side of the gates, at the mouth of the city, The entrance of the openings, she crieth aloud,

4 Unto you, O men, I call, And my voice is unto the sons of men.

5 Understand, ye simple ones, prudence, And ye fools, understand the heart,

6 Hearken, for noble things I speak, And the opening of my lips is uprightness.

7 For truth doth my mouth utter, And an abomination to my lips is wickedness.

8 In righteousness are all the sayings of my mouth, Nothing in them is froward and perverse.
