Proverbs 8:1-11
Can’t you hear the voice of wisdom?
She is standing at the city gates and at every fork in the road, and at the
door of every house.
Listen to what she says: “Listen, people!” she calls. “How foolish and naive you are. Let me give you understanding. O foolish ones, let me show you common sense. Listen to me. For I have important information for you.
Everything I say is right and true, for I hate lies and every kind of
deception. My advice is wholesome and good. There is nothing of evil in it.
My words are plain and clear to anyone with half a mind—if it is only open. My instruction is far more valuable than silver or gold. For the value of wisdom is far above rubies; nothing can be compared with it.
