Proverbs 8:1-11 NIRV

Proverbs 8:1-11

Wisdom Calls Out

Doesn’t wisdom call out?

Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?

At the highest point along the way,

she takes her place where the paths meet.

Beside the gate leading into the city,

she cries out at the entrance. She says,

“People, I call out to you.

I raise my voice to all human beings.

You who are childish, get some good sense.

You who are foolish, set your hearts on getting it.

Listen! I have things to say that you can depend on.

I open my lips to speak what is right.

My mouth speaks what is true.

My lips hate evil.

All the words of my mouth are honest.

None of them is twisted or sinful.

To those who have understanding, all my words are right.

To those who have found knowledge, they are true.

Choose my teaching instead of silver.

Choose knowledge rather than fine gold.

Wisdom is worth more than rubies.

Nothing you want can compare with her.
