1 Wisdom, calls she not? And discernment, give her voice?
2 She stands in the top of the heights by the way between the houses of the paths;
3 she shouts at the handle of the portals - at the mouth of the city at the entry at the portals.
4 To you, O men, I call; and my voice to the sons of humanity:
5 to you, O gullible, discern strategy; and you, O fools, discern heart:
6 hear; for I speak of eminence; and the opening of my lips of straightnesses:
7 for my palate meditates truth; and wickedness is an abhorrence to my lips:
8 all the sayings of my mouth are in justness; naught of them is twisted or perverted:
9 they are all straightforward to him who discerns and straight to them who find knowledge.
10 Take my discipline and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice ore:
11 better, wisdom than pearls; and all those desires not comparable.
12 I - wisdom dwell with strategy and find out knowledge of intrigue.
