Proverbs 8:1-8
Authorized (King James) Version
8 Doth not wisdom cry?
and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places,
by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city,
at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call;
and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom:
and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things;
and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth;
and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
Proverbs 8:19-21
Authorized (King James) Version
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;
and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness,
in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance;
and I will fill their treasures.
Proverbs 9:4-6
Authorized (King James) Version
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread,
and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live;
and go in the way of understanding.
