5 You naive ones, gain prudence,you fools, gain sense.
6 Listen! for noble things I speak;my lips proclaim honest words.
7 Indeed, my mouth utters truth,and my lips abhor wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are sincere,none of them wily or crooked;
9 All of them are straightforward to the intelligent,and right to those who attain knowledge.
10 Take my instruction instead of silver,and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 [For Wisdom is better than corals,and no treasures can compare with her.]
