1You shall proclaim wisdom, that understanding may be obedient to you.
2For she is on lofty eminences, and stands in the midst of the ways.
3For she sits by the gates of princes, and sings in the entrances, saying,
4You, O men, I exhort; and utter my voice to the sons of men.
5O you° simple, understand subtlety, and you° that are untaught, imbibe knowledge.
6Listen to me; for I will speak solemn truths; and will produce right sayings from my lips.
7For my throat shall meditate truth; and false lips are an abomination before me.
8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing in them wrong or perverse.
9They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge.
10Receive instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than tried gold.
