7 For my mouth shall speak truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing perverse or twisted in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understands and right to those that have found wisdom.
10 Receive my chastening and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than precious stones; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I invent the knowledge of giving counsel.
13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride, arrogancy, the evil way, and the perverse mouth, do I hate.
