Wisdom strategically positioned herself calling out to all people from the hilltop, crossroads, and entrance gate and on the road leading in
In self-eulogy, she is truth-speaking, detests deception and there is nothing devious or crooked in her advice.
In values, her instruction is better than silver, even pure gold, and rubies, nothing you can desire compare with it
Wisdom lives with good judgment, she possesses knowledge and discretion, and she hates pride, arrogance, evil behavior, and perverse speech, just as all those who fear the Lord does

Those who search for wisdom will find her. She has riches, honor, enduring wealth, and justice and loves those who love her
Wisdom walks in righteousness, in paths of justice, for the Lord formed her from the beginning before he created anything else.t
