Proverbs 8:9

Wisdom

7 For my mouth will speak the truth, and wickedness is detestable to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are righteous; none are crooked or perverse.

They are all plain to the discerning, and upright to those who find knowledge.

10 Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.

11 For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her.
