✧1Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? Copy✧2She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. Copy✧3She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. Copy✧4Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man. Copy✧5O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. Copy✧6Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things. Copy✧7For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips. Copy✧8All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them. Copy✧9They [are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
