Proverbs 8:6
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.
In context
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors. 4 Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of man. 5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: And, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. 6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things. 7 For my mouth shall speak truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing froward or perverse in them. 9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, And right to them that find knowledge.
