Proverbs 8:3-14

³Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying:

⁴O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.

⁵O little ones, understand subtilty, and ye unwise, take notice.

⁶Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things.

⁷My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness.

⁸All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.

⁹They are right to them that understand, and just to them that find knowledge.

¹⁰Receive my instruction, and not money: choose knowledge rather than gold.

¹¹For wisdom is better than all the most precious things: and whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to it.

¹²I wisdom dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts.

¹³The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.

¹⁴Counsel and equity is mine, prudence is mine, strength is mine.
