Proverbs‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬, ‭4‬-‭12‬ ‭HCSB‬‬: Vs. 1 - Doesn’t Wisdom call out? Doesn’t Understanding make her voice heard? Vs. 4 - People, I call out to you; my cry is to mankind. Vs. 5 - Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced; develop common sense, you who are foolish. Vs. 6 - Listen, for I speak of noble things, and what my lips say is right. Vs. 7 - For my mouth tells the truth, and wickedness is detestable to my lips. Vs. 8 - All the words of my mouth are righteous; none of them are deceptive or perverse. Vs. 9 - All of them are clear to the perceptive, and right to those who discover knowledge. Vs. 10 - Accept my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. Vs. 11 - For wisdom is better than jewels, and nothing desirable can compare with it. Vs. 12 - I, Wisdom, share a home with shrewdness and have knowledge and discretion.

Proverbs 8:10-11, 34-36 NIV [10] Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, [11] for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. [34] Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. [35] For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord. [36] But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.” Thank you Lord for wisdom.
