Proverbs 8:1-7

1 Is not wisdom crying out, and the voice of knowledge sounding?

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

2 At the top of the highways, at the meeting of the roads, she takes her place;

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

3 Where the roads go into the town her cry goes out, at the doorways her voice is loud:

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

4 I am crying out to you, O men; my voice comes to the sons of men.

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

5 Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart.

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

6 Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright.

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

7 For good faith goes out of my mouth, and false lips are disgusting to me.

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