6 Listen, for I will speak of
aexcellent things,
And from the opening of my lips
will come right things;
7 For my mouth will speak truth;
Wickedness
is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth
are with righteousness;
Nothing crooked or perverse
is in them.
9 They
are all plain to him who understands,
And right to those who find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 aFor wisdom
is better than rubies,
And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
