I am crying out to you, O men; my voice comes to the sons of men. Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart.

All the words of my mouth are righteousness; there is nothing false or twisted in them. They are all true to him whose mind is awake, and straightforward to those who get knowledge.
