Proverbs 8:6-11
New King James Version
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.
8 All the words of my mouth are with righteousness;
Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.
9 They are all plain to him who understands,
And right to those who find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 (B)For wisdom is better than rubies,
And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
