^5 (A)Acquire wisdom! ^(B)Acquire understanding!
Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

⁶ For ^(A)the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

⁶ Listen, for I will speak ^(A)noble things;
And the opening of my lips will reveal ^(B)right things.

⁸ All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing ^(A)crooked or perverted in them.

²⁰ Now hear the word of the Lord, you ^(A)women,
And let your ears receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And have every woman teach her neighbor a song of mourning.
