Proverbs 8:5 in context

  1. 3Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:
  2. 4Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men.
  3. 5O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.
  4. 6Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.
  5. 7For my mouth shall utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
