6 “Listen, for I speak noble words, And the opening of my lips is about straightness;
7 “For my mouth speaks truth; And wrongness is an abomination to my lips.
8 “All the words of my mouth are in righteousness, None of them twisted or crooked,
9 “All of them plain to him who understands, And straight to those who find knowledge.
10 “Accept my discipline, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 “For wisdom is better than rubies, And all delights are not comparable to her.
12 “I, wisdom, have dwelt with insight, And I find knowledge, foresight.
