She cryeth besides the gates before the citie at the entrie of the doores,
O men, I call vnto you, and vtter my voyce to the children of men.
5 ৫ যিসকল শিক্ষিত নহয়, তেওঁলোকে সুবুদ্ধিক বুজা উচিত, আৰু যিসকলে জ্ঞানক ঘিণ কৰে, তেওঁলোকৰ সুবিবেচনাৰ হৃদয় থকা উচিত।
O ye foolish men, vnderstand wisedome, and ye, O fooles, be wise in heart.
Giue eare, for I will speake of excellent things, and the opening of my lippes, shall teache things that be right.
For my mouth shall speake the trueth, and my lippes abhorre wickednesse.
All the wordes of my mouth are righteous: there is no lewdenes, nor frowardnesse in them.
9 ৯ যি সকলে বুজি পাই, তেওঁলোকৰ কাৰণে মোৰ কথাবোৰ স্পষ্ট; যি সকলে জ্ঞান লাভ কৰে, তেওঁলোকৰ কাৰণে মোৰ কথাবোৰ সত্য।
They are all plaine to him that will vnderstande, and streight to them that woulde finde knowledge.
Receiue mine instruction, and not siluer, and knowledge rather then fine golde.

I wisdome dwell with prudence, and I find foorth knowledge and counsels.
The feare of the Lord is to hate euill as pride, and arrogancie, and the euill way: and a mouth that speaketh lewde things, I doe hate.
I haue counsell and wisedome: I am vnderstanding, and I haue strength.

I loue them that loue me: and they that seeke me earely, shall finde me.
Riches and honour are with me: euen durable riches and righteousnesse.
My fruite is better then golde, euen then fine golde, and my reuenues better then fine siluer.
I cause to walke in the way of righteousnes, and in the middes of the paths of iudgement,
That I may cause them that loue me, to inherite substance, and I will fill their treasures.
The Lord hath possessed me in the beginning of his way: I was before his workes of olde.
I was set vp from euerlasting, from the beginning and before the earth.

Before the mountaines were setled: and before the hilles, was I begotten.

When he established the cloudes aboue, when he confirmed the fountaines of the deepe,

But he that sinneth against me, hurteth his owne soule: and all that hate me, loue death.
