God's Wisdom


Proverbs 8

Doesn't wisdom cry to put forth her voice?
She stands where many paths gives choice;
She cries at the entrance gates of the city,
Calling guys with her voice looking pretty;
Realize wisdom to be fools with your heart,
I speak of excellent things to take impart;
For my mouth shall speak the truth to you,
Wickedness is abolished from my view;
Only righteous words are out of my lips,
Nothing is forward or perverse from my tips;
Good advise is better than silver or gold,
Wisdom is better than money for I behold;
Anything you desire can not even compare,
The wisdom and knowledge that you share;
The fear of the Lord is to despise all evil,
Arrogance and deceit is work of the devil;
Whoever sins has done wrong to his soul,
Hating God and leaving the devil in control;
Good counsel is mine with a sound decision,
I have strength to understand in my vision.
