wisdom cries.

Do you hear me?
I am there, I am here.
I'm beside the way, Where the paths meet.
I cry out at the city gate,
At every doorway,
Where the decisions are to be made.
I cry. I cry Truth.
Asking, Do you know where that door leads?
Cause I do.
That door leads down to death.
The steps lay hold of hell.
That's not the place you were meant to go.
Do not be deceived. That door holds lies.
Avoid it at all cost.
It leads to darkness.
Before you go in it's looks desirable but in the end it's bitter.
Do not even go near.
Do not get caught in the cord of sin.
Turn away and pass on.
Keep your eyes straight forward.
Listen to me. I speak truth.
Walk the path of life. I will lead you.
I long for you to live, to really live.
All I want is to see you free.
I've been here from the beginning, before the earth was here.
I was there when he prepared the heavens.
I was there when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him.
Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And my delight was with the sons of men.
Listen.
I am lifting my voice.
I speak of excellent things.
I am understanding, & I have strength for you.
I love those who love me.
And happy is the man who finds me.
All the things you may desire cannot compare with me.
Length of days is in my right hand.
In my left hand are riches and honor. Enduring riches.
My ways are ways of pleasantness.
And my paths are peace.
I am a tree of life to those who take hold of me.
Do you hear me?
You will lose everything if you go through that door.
That door will cost you your life.
Life is all you have. guard it, protect it.
Therefore listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
Blessed is the man who listens to me!
Watch daily at my gates. Wait at the post of my doors.
For whoever finds me finds life.
And those who seek me diligently will find me.
And you will obtain favor from the Lord.
For by wisdom your days will be multiplies.
I can give you so much and that door will destroy it all.
Sin is crouching at your door BUT blessed is that man who overcomes temptation.
Surly I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words know to you.
I will be life to your soul and grace to your neck.
When you lie down you will not be afraid.
Your sleep will be sweet.
Do not forsake me, I will preserve you.
Love me, I will keep you.
Exalt me, and I will promote you.
Keep me, I am your life.
