Doth not abwisdom cry?

And bunderstanding aput forth her voice?

2  She standeth in the top of chigh places, by the way

In the places of the paths.

3  She acrieth at the dgates, at the entry of cethe city,

At the coming in at the doors.

4  Unto you, O men, I call;

And my voice is to the sons of man.

5  O ye fsimple, understand fwisdom:

And, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

6  Hear; for I will speak of gexcellent things;

And the opening of my lips shall be hright things.

7  For my imouth shall kspeak truth;

And wickedness is †an abomination to my lips.

8  All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;

There is nothing †lfroward or lperverse in them.

9  They are all mplain to him that understandeth,

And right to them that find knowledge.

10  Receive my instruction, and not silver;

And knowledge rather than nchoice gold.

11  oFor wisdom is better than prubies;

And qall the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
