4Unto you, men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of man:
5O ye simple, understand prudence; and ye foolish, understand sense.
6Hear, for I will speak excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7For my palate shall meditate truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing tortuous or perverse in them.
9They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold:
11for wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not equal to it.
12I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find the knowledge which cometh of reflection.
13The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth do I hate.
14Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am intelligence; I have strength.
15By me kings reign, and rulers make just decrees;
16by me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the earth.
17I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me.
18Riches and honour are with me; durable wealth and righteousness.
19My fruit is better than fine gold, yea, than pure gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20I walk in the path of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasuries.
22Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
