Opening:
O Lord, from whom all good proceeds: Grant us the inspiration

are good, and by your merciful guidance may accomplish the
same; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Be filled with the Holy Spirit,
singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves,

OT Reading: Proverbs 8:4-21 (NLT)
8:4 “I call to you, to all of you!
I raise my voice to all people.
You simple people, use good judgment.
You foolish people, show some understanding.
Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you.
-
- Everything I say is right,
for I speak the truth
and detest every kind of deception. - My advice is wholesome.
There is nothing devious or crooked in it. - My words are plain to anyone with understanding,
clear to those with knowledge. - Choose my instruction rather than silver,
and knowledge rather than pure gold. - For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.
Nothing you desire can compare with it.
- Everything I say is right,
“I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.
I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.
-
- All who fear the Lord will hate evil.
Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
corruption and perverse speech. - Common sense and success belong to me.
Insight and strength are mine. - Because of me, kings reign,
and rulers make just decrees. - Rulers lead with my help,
and nobles make righteous judgments.
- All who fear the Lord will hate evil.
“I love all who love me.
Those who search will surely find me.
-
- I have riches and honor,
as well as enduring wealth and justice. - My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold,
my wages better than sterling silver! - I walk in righteousness,
in paths of justice. - Those who love me inherit wealth.
I will fill their treasuries.
- I have riches and honor,

NT Reading: Ephesians 5:15-20 (NLT)
5:15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
