Listen to Wisdoms speech: Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right. Wisdoms worthy things are things of substance and value. I open my lips to speak what is right promises that her speech will be righteous and true. The contrast is with the adulteresss flattering, seductive lies; Wisdom speaks what is true and right. The young man listening is being offered a choice: the smoothness of deception or the substance of truth.
