Proverbs 8:1-8   New International Version     Wisdom’s Call

8 Does not wisdom call out?     Does not understanding raise her voice? 2 At the highest point along the way,     where the paths meet, she takes her stand; 3 beside the gate leading into the city,     at the entrance, she cries aloud: 4 “To you, O people, I call out;     I raise my voice to all mankind. 5 You who are simple, gain prudence;     you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a] 6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;     I open my lips to speak what is right. 7 My mouth speaks what is true,     for my lips detest wickedness. 8 All the words of my mouth are just;     none of them is crooked or perverse.
