  • Proverbs 8:1-7
    Does not wisdom cry out,
    And understanding lift up her voice?
    She takes her stand on the top of the high hill,
    Beside the way, where the paths meet.
    She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,
    At the entrance of the doors:
    " To you, O men, I call,
    And my voice is to the sons of men.
    O you simple ones, understand prudence,
    And you fools, be of an understanding heart.
    Listen, for I will speak of excellent things,
    And from the opening of my lips will come right things;
    For my mouth will speak truth;
    Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

     
  • Proverbs 8:11-21
    For wisdom is better than rubies,
    And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
    “ I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
    And find out knowledge and discretion.
    The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;
    Pride and arrogance and the evil way
    And the perverse mouth I hate.
    Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;
    I am understanding, I have strength.
    By me kings reign,
    And rulers decree justice.
    By me princes rule, and nobles,
    All the judges of the earth.
    I love those who love me,
    And those who seek me diligently will find me.
    Riches and honor are with me,
    Enduring riches and righteousness.
    My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold,
    And my revenue than choice silver.
    I traverse the way of righteousness,
    In the midst of the paths of justice,
    That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
    That I may fill their treasuries.

     
  • Proverbs 1:20-26
    Wisdom calls aloud outside;
    She raises her voice in the open squares.
    She cries out in the chief concourses,
    At the openings of the gates in the city
    She speaks her words:
    " How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
    For scorners delight in their scorning,
    And fools hate knowledge.
    Turn at my rebuke;
    Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
    I will make my words known to you.
    Because I have called and you refused,
    I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
    Because you disdained all my counsel,
    And would have none of my rebuke,
    I also will laugh at your calamity;
    I will mock when your terror comes,

     
  • Proverbs 2:3-5
    Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
    And lift up your voice for understanding,
    If you seek her as silver,
    And search for her as for hidden treasures;
    Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
    And find the knowledge of God.

     
  • Proverbs 3:17-18
    Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
    And all her paths are peace.
    She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
    And happy are all who retain her.

     
  • Proverbs 8:34-36
    Blessed is the man who listens to me,
    Watching daily at my gates,
    Waiting at the posts of my doors.
    For whoever finds me finds life,
    And obtains favor from the LORD;
    But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;
    All those who hate me love death.”
