to me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Prv7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
Prv7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
Prv7:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
Prv8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
Prv8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
Prv8:3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
Prv8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
Prv8:5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
Prv8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
Prv8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Prv8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
Prv8:9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
Prv8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Prv8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Prv8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
