7 for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them.
9 They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge.
10 Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
Biblical wisdom can be trusted. Personified as a woman here, she self describes as always correct, for those that understand. That second part is important when you consider the past and present sins of the church. Wisdom, not the presumption of wisdom, is more valuable than gold and silver.
