4“To you, O men! do I call, And my voice is to the sons of men!
5O ye simple ones! learn wisdom, And ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart!
6Hear, for I speak excellent things, And my lips utter that which is right.
7For my mouth speaketh truth, And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8All the words of my mouth are in uprightness; There is nothing crooked or deceitful in them;
9They are all plain to the man of understanding, And right to those who find knowledge.
10Receive my instruction, and not silver. And knowledge rather than choice gold!
11For wisdom is better than pearls, And no precious things are to be compared with her.
12“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out the knowledge of sagacious counsels.
13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, And the deceitful mouth, do I hate.
14Counsel is mine, and sound reason; I am understanding; I have strength.
15By me kings reign, And princes decree justice.
16By me princes rule, And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17I love them that love me, And they who seek me early shall find me.
18Riches and honor are with me; Yea, durable riches and prosperity.
19My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold. And my revenue than choice silver.
20I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of equity.
21I cause those who love me to possess substance; Yea, I fill their treasuries.
22“The LORD created me, the firstling of his course, Before his works, of old;
