1Yo, doesn’t wisdom shout? And understanding’s out here flexing her voice?

2She’s chilling at the top of high spots, just vibing on the way of the paths.

3She’s like, “Yo, check me out at the gates, at the city entrance, and at the doors.”

4To you, my dudes, I’m calling; my voice is for all the homies out there.

5Hey, you simple folks, get wise; and you fools, level up your hearts for real.

6Listen up; I’m about to drop some lit wisdom; my words are straight fire.

7My mouth’s gonna speak the truth; wickedness is totally sus to my lips.

8All the words I say are righteous; nothing shady or twisted in them, no cap.

9They’re all clear for those who get it, and right for those who seek knowledge.

10Take my wisdom, not silver; knowledge’s way better than that fancy gold, periodt.

11Wisdom is way better than rubies; nothing you want can even compare, no cap.

12I’m wisdom, vibing with prudence, finding all the lit knowledge and clever ideas.

13The fear of the Lord means hating evil: pride, arrogance, the sus path, and the savage mouth, I can’t with that.

14Counsel is my thing, and I got sound wisdom; I’m understanding and got strength on lock.

15Through me, kings reign, and princes drop justice like it's hot.

16By me, princes rule, and all the nobles and judges of the earth pop off.

17I vibe with those who love me; if you seek me early, you’ll find me, fr.

18Riches and honor are my squad; I got durable riches and righteousness, for real.

19My fruit is better than gold, like, way better; my revenue slaps harder than choice silver.

20I lead in the way of righteousness, right in the middle of the paths of judgment.

21Those who vibe with me get the goods, and I’ll stack their treasures, no cap.

22The Lord had me on lock from day one, before all the cool stuff went down.

23I was here since forever, even before the earth was a thing, fr.

24Before the deeps were deep, I was already in the mix; no water vibes yet.

25Before the mountains were chillin', I was already in the game.

26He hadn’t even made the earth or the fields, just pure potential, periodt.

27When he was setting up the heavens, I was right there, plotting the depths.

28When he got the clouds sorted, I was there, making sure the deeps were lit.

29He told the sea what’s up, like, "Stay in your lane," setting the foundations, no cap.

30I was right by him, like his ride-or-die, always vibing and rejoicing in his presence.

31Vibes are high in the chill parts of the earth; I’m all about hanging with the homies.

32So listen up, fam: blessed are those who stick to my vibes.

33Get that wisdom, fam, and don’t sleep on it.

34Blessed is the dude who hears me, always chillin’ at my gates, waiting for the good stuff.

35Whoever finds me is living life to the fullest and gets that divine favor, no cap.

36But if you go against me, you’re just messing with your own soul: all who hate me are vibing with death.

1Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

2She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

3She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

4Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

5O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

6Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

7For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

9They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

10Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

11For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

12I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

13The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

14Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

15By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

16By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

17I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

18Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

19My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

20I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

21That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

22The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

26While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

27When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

28When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

32Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

33Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.

36But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
