Proverbs

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. ¹¹For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto her. ¹²I wisdom have made subtilty my dwelling, and find out knowledge and discretion.
