CAB(i)
1 You shall proclaim wisdom, that understanding may be obedient to you.
2 For she is on lofty heights, and stands in the midst of the ways.
3 For she sits by the gates of princes, and sings in the entrances, saying,
4 You, O men, I exhort; and utter my voice to the sons of men.
5 O you simple, understand prudence, and you that are untaught, take in knowledge.
6 Listen to me, for I will speak solemn truths; and I will produce right sayings from my lips.
7 For my mouth shall meditate truth, and false lips are an abomination before me.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing in them wrong or perverse.
9 They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge.
10 Receive instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than precious stones; and no valuable substance is of equal worth with it.
12 I, wisdom, have dwelt with counsel and knowledge, and I have called upon understanding.
