Proverbs 8:1-9

Proverbs 8:1-9 NASB2020

Does not wisdom call, And understanding raise her voice? On top of the heights beside the way, Where the paths meet, she takes her stand; Beside the gates, at the opening to the city, At the entrance of the doors, she cries out: “To you, people, I call, And my voice is to mankind. “You naive ones, understand prudence; And, you fools, understand wisdom! “Listen, for I will speak noble things; And the opening of my lips will reveal right things. “For my mouth will proclaim truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips. “All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverted in them. “They are all straightforward to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge.
