Proverbs 8:1-9

Wisdom’s Call 1Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?

2At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

3beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:

4“To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.

5You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it. Septuagint; Hebrew foolish, instruct your minds

6Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.

7My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.

8All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.

9To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge.
