Proverbs 8:3-11

³Wisdom also stands at the city gates and shouts loudly,

⁴“I am calling to everyone! I am shouting loudly to all people!

⁵You people who do not know how to do things that are smart to do, get sound judgment; you foolish people, get good understanding!

⁶Listen to me, because I have some excellent/important things to say. What I say is what is fair/right.

⁷I speak what is true; I detest speaking MTY what is false/deceptive.

⁸Everything that I say is honest; there is nothing that I say that deceives people.

⁹My words are clear to those who have good sense; those who are wise know that what I say is right.

¹⁰If someone offers you the kind of teaching I give or offers you silver, choose my teaching. If he offers to show you how to be wise or offers you gold, choose to know how to be wise,

¹¹because wisdom is more valuable than jewels. Nothing that you desire is as valuable as being wise.
