5 O little ones, understand discernment. And you who are unwise, turn your souls.
6 Listen, for I will speak about great things, and my lips will be opened, so as to foretell what is right.
7 My throat shall practice truth, and my lips shall detest the impious.
8 All my words are just. There is no depravity in them, and no perversity.
9 They are upright to those who understand, and equitable to those who discover knowledge.
10 Accept my discipline, and not money. Choose the doctrine that is greater than gold.
11 For wisdom is better than all that is most precious, and everything that is desirable cannot compare to her.
