Proverbs 8:5-7
New King James Version

5 O you [a]simple ones, understand prudence,
And you fools, be of an understanding heart.
6 Listen, for I will speak of (A)excellent things,
And from the opening of my lips will come right things;
7 For my mouth will speak truth;
Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
