Proverbs 8:5-7
International Standard Version

5 Understand prudence, you naïve people;
    and gain an understanding heart, you foolish ones.
6 Listen, because I have noble things to say,
    and what I have to say[a] will reveal what is right.
7 For my mouth speaks the truth—
    wickedness is detestable to me.
