Give ear, for I will speak of great matters, and open my lips to tell things that be right. For my throat shall be talking of the truth, and my lips abhor ungodliness. All the words of my mouth are righteous, there is no frowardness nor falsity therein. They are all plain to such as will understand, and right to them that find knowledge. Receive my doctrine therefore, and not silver: and my knowledge, more than fine gold. For wisdom is more worth than precious stones; yea, all the things that thou canst desire, are not to be compared unto it. "I, wisdom, have my dwelling with knowledge, and prudent counsel is mine own. With me is the fear of the LORD, and the eschewing of evil. As for pride, disdain, and evil way, and a mouth that speaketh wicked things, I utterly abhor them. I can give counsel, and be a guide: I have understanding, I have strength. Through me, kings reign: through me, princes make just laws. Through me, lords bear rule, and all judges of the earth execute judgment. I am loving unto those that love me, and they that seek me early, shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, excellent goods and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, and precious stones, and mine increase more worth than fine silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, and in the street of judgment: That I may send prosperity to those that love me, and to increase their treasure. "The LORD himself had me in possession in the beginning of his ways, before he began his works afore time. I have been ordained from everlasting, and from the beginning before the earth was made. When I was born, there were neither depths nor springs of water. Before the foundations of the mountains were laid, yea before all hills was I born. The earth and all that is upon the earth was not yet made, no not the ground itself. For when he made the heavens, I was present; when he set up the depths in order; when he hanged the clouds above; when he fastened the springs of the deep; When he shut the sea within certain bounds, that the waters should not go over their marks. When he laid the foundations of the earth, I was with him, ordering all things, delighting daily, and rejoicing always before him. As for the round compass of his world, I make it joyful: for my delight is to be among the children of men.
