Proverbs 8:6

Context

8:6 Listen, for I will speak excellent things, 1 

and my lips will utter 2  what is right.

1 tn Heb “noble” or “princely.” Wisdom begins the first motivation by claiming to speak noble things, that is, excellent things.

2 tn Heb “opening of my lips” (so KJV, NASB). The noun “lips” is a metonymy of cause, with the organ of speech put for what is said.
