New Century Version

Proverbs 8:4-11 New Century Version (NCV)

4. “Listen, everyone, I’m calling out to you;I am shouting to all people.

5. You who are uneducated, seek wisdom.You who are foolish, get understanding.

6. Listen, because I have important things to say,and what I tell you is right.

7. What I say is true,I refuse to speak evil.

8. Everything I say is honest;nothing I say is crooked or false.

9. People with good sense know what I say is true;and those with knowledge know my words are right.

10. Choose my teachings instead of silver,and knowledge rather than the finest gold.

11. Wisdom is more precious than rubies.Nothing you could want is equal to it.
