Proverbs 8:6-11

⁶Listen to me because I have valuable things to explain to you.

⁷I say what's right, because I tell the truth and I hate wickedness in all its forms.

⁸All the words I say are true; none are false or misleading.

⁹My words are straightforward to anyone with understanding; they are correct to those who have knowledge.

¹⁰Choose my instruction over silver; choose knowledge over pure gold.

¹¹For wisdom is more valuable than rubies; everything you could ever want just doesn't compare!
