- Standing in the top of the highest places by the way, in the midst of the paths.
- Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying:
- O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.
- O little ones, understand subtilty, and ye unwise, take notice.
- Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things.
- My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness.
- All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.
- They are right to them that understand, and just to them that find knowledge.
- Receive my instruction, and not money: choose knowledge rather than gold.
- 11For wisdom is better than all the most precious things: and whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to
- I wisdom dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts.

- By me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things,
- By me princes rule, and the mighty decree justice.
- I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me.

- For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver.
- I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment,
