8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
8:3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man.
8:5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things.
8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips.
8:8 All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them.
