Conforme a la justicia son todas las palabras de mi boca, no hay en ellas nada torcido ni perverso. Todas son sinceras para el que entiende, y rectas para los que han hallado conocimiento. Recibid mi instrucción y no la plata, y conocimiento antes que el oro escogido; porque mejor es la sabiduría que las joyas, y todas las cosas deseables no pueden compararse con ella.
All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge. Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.
