1. Doesn't wisdom cry out?Doesn't understanding raise her voice?

2. On the top of high places by the way,where the paths meet, she stands.

3. Beside the gates, at the entry of the city,at the entry doors, she cries aloud:

4. "To you men, I call!I send my voice to the sons of mankind.

5. You simple, understand prudence.You fools, be of an understanding heart.

6. Hear, for I will speak excellent things.The opening of my lips is for right things.

7. For my mouth speaks truth.Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

8. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness.There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

9. They are all plain to him who understands,right to those who find knowledge.

10. Receive my instruction rather than silver;knowledge rather than choice gold.

11. For wisdom is better than rubies.All the things that may be desired can't be compared to it.

12. "I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling.Find out knowledge and discretion.

13. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil.I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

14. Counsel and sound knowledge are mine.I have understanding and power.

15. By me kings reign,and princes decree justice.

16. By me princes rule;nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.

2. The LORD's Spirit will rest on him:the spirit of wisdom and understanding,the spirit of counsel and might,the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of The LORD.

3. His delight will be in the fear of The LORD.He will not judge by the sight of his eyes,neither decide by the hearing of his ears;

The Lord the LORD has given me the tongue of those who are taught,that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary.He wakens morning by morning,he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said,"Why do you think evil in your hearts?

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them,"Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?
