Proverbs

⁴Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men. ⁵O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart. ⁶Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things. ⁷For my mouth shall utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips. ⁸All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked 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.
