6 Listen! I have worthy things to say. I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true. My lips hate evil.
8 All the words of my mouth are honest. None of them is twisted or sinful.
9 To those who have understanding, all my words are right. To those who have knowledge, they are true.
10 Choose my teaching instead of silver. Choose knowledge rather than fine gold.
11 Wisdom is worth more than rubies. Nothing you want can compare with her.
12 "I, wisdom, live together with understanding. I have knowledge and good sense.
