8 All the words of my mouth are righteous;none of them are deceptive or perverse.
9 All of them are clear to the perceptive, and right to those who discover knowledge.
10 Accept my instruction instead of silver,and knowledge rather than pure gold.
11 For wisdom is better than jewels, and nothing desirable can compare with it.
12 I, Wisdom, share a home with shrewdnessand have knowledge and discretion.
13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil. I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,and perverse speech.
14 I possess good advice and competence; I have understanding and strength.
