Proverbs 8:1-11

The Value of Wisdom

Proverbs 8:1-11
1
Doesn’t wisdom cry out? Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?
2
On the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she stands.
3
Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
4
“To you men, I call! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
5
You simple, understand prudence. You fools, be of an understanding heart.
6
Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.
7
For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
9
They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge.
10
Receive my instruction rather than silver; knowledge rather than choice gold.
11
For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.
