Proverbs 8:6-7 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 

‘My mouth shall speak truth.’ This is the third great personification of wisdom (8:1-9:18; cp. 1:20-32; 3:13-18). She lifts up her voice in the most public places and warns the young to avoid the ways of seduction and sin (8:1-14). She promises riches, honour, wisdom, knowledge, and success in every field of endeavour to those who love her (8:15-21). She speaks of her eternity with God and advises men to obey her because of her ancient experiences (8:22-9:18).

‘Truth’ – this word is used by Jesus in John 22 times and only 4 times by Him in the other gospels. He is the truth of God that sets free (John 8:32-36; 14:6). He is the teacher and source of truth (Matt. 22:16; Mark 12:14; John 1:14, 17).

Many claim today to speak God’s truth, but they speak lies in hypocrisy (1Tim. 4:2) [Greek: pseudologos] speakers of lies in pretended revelations; putting on an act of self-denial and mortification of the flesh to prove their false doctrines to be truth. All liars and slanderers shall have their part in the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8; 22:15).

Twenty personal acts of wisdom: She cries (8:1-3). She stands (8:2). She calls (8:4). She speaks (8:4 – 9:18). She reproves (8:5). She abhors sin (8:7). She admonishes (8:10). She searches (8:12). She hates (8:13). She counsels (8:14). She advises (8:15). She loves (8:17). She leads (8:20). She blesses (8:21). She rejoices (8:30). She delights (8:31). She builds (9:1). She cooks (9:2). She plans (9:3). She invites (9:5).

‘Wickedness’ [Hebrew: resha‛] lawlessness (Isa. 57:20-21).
