6. Hearken, for noble things I speak, And the opening of my lips [is] uprightness.
7. For truth doth my mouth utter, And an abomination to my lips [is] wickedness.
8. In righteousness [are] all the sayings of my mouth, Nothing in them is froward and perverse.
9. All of them [are] plain to the intelligent, And upright to those finding knowledge.
10. Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold.
11. For better [is] wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are not comparable with it.
12. I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out.
