Proverbs 8:6-11

Common English Bible

⁶ Listen, for I speak things that are correct;
    from my lips comes what is right.
⁷ My mouth utters the truth;
    my lips despise wickedness.
⁸ All the words of my mouth are righteous;
    nothing in them is twisted or crooked.
⁹ All of them are straightforward to those who understand,
    and upright for the knowledgeable.
¹⁰ Take my instruction rather than silver,
    knowledge rather than choice gold.
¹¹ Wisdom is better than pearls;
    nothing is more delightful than she.
