Wisdom calls at the heights beside the road, at the crossroads, beside the gates: hear instruction and be wise; take knowledge rather than gold. Wisdom loves those who love her; riches and honor are with her. The LORD created wisdom at the beginning of His works; she was beside Him as a master craftsman, rejoicing daily and delighting in the children of man. Whoever finds wisdom finds life and obtains favor from the LORD; whoever fails to find her injures himself; all who hate her love death.
