1 Shall not wisdom call, and understanding give her voice? 2 She stood upon the head of the heights, upon the way of the house of the beaten paths. 3 At the hand of the gates, at the mouth of the city from the coming in of the doors she will cry: 4 To you, ye men, I shall call, and my voice is to the sons of man. 5 Understand craftiness, ye simple: and ye foolish, understand the heart. 6 Hear ye, for I will speak dear things; and the openings of my lips uprightnesses. 7 For my palate shall meditate the truth, and evil is the abomination of my lips. 8 In justice are all the sayings of my mouth; nothing in them crooked and perverse.
