1 Isn’t wisdom calling? Isn’t understanding raising her voice?
10 Choose my instruction over silver; choose knowledge over pure gold. 11 For wisdom is more valuable than rubies; everything you could ever want just doesn’t compare!
12 I, wisdom, am at home with good decisions. I know how to find knowledge and discernment. 13 Honoring the Lord means hating evil. So I hate pride and arrogance, wicked behavior and telling lies.
32 And now, my sons, listen to me, for happy are those who follow my ways. 33 Listen to my instruction and be wise—do not reject it. 34 Happy are those who listen to me, watching for me every day at my doors, waiting at my entrance way. 35 For those who find me, find life, and are accepted by the Lord. 36 But those who don’t find me hurt themselves; everyone who hates me loves death."
