Proverbs 8:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 8:1

1 Does not ^awisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?

2 She takes her stand on the top of the¹ high hill,
Beside the way, where the paths meet.

3 She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the entrance of the doors:

4 “To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.

5 O you¹ simple ones, understand prudence,
And you fools, be of an understanding heart.

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.
