6. Hear, for I will speak excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7. For my palate shall meditate truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing tortuous or perverse in them.
9. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10. Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold:
11. for wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not equal to it.
12. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find the knowledge which cometh of reflection.
13. The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth do I hate.
14. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am intelligence; I have strength.
