Proverbs 8:1-11

The Value of Wisdom

Proverbs 8:1-11
1
Wisdom is calling! Understanding is raising her voice!
2
On the heights along the road, where the paths meet, she is standing;
3
by the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud:
4
"People, I am calling you, raising my voice to all mankind.
5
You who don't direct your lives, understand caution; as for you, you fools, get some common sense!
6
"Listen! I will say worthwhile things; when I speak, my words are right.
7
My mouth says what is true, because my lips detest evil.
8
All the words from my mouth are righteous; nothing false or crooked is in them.
9
They are all clear to those who understand and straightforward to those who gain knowledge.
10
Receive my instruction, rather than silver; knowledge, rather than the finest gold.
11
For wisdom is better than pearls; nothing you want can compare with her.
