Proverbs 8:1 Doth not wisdom2451 cry?7121 and understanding8394 put forth5414 her voice?69632 She standeth5324 in the top7218 of high places,4791 by the way1870 in the places1004 of the paths.54103 She crieth7442 at3027 the gates,8179 at the entry6310 of the city,7176 at the coming3996 in at the doors.66074 Unto you, O men,376 I call;7121 and my voice6963is to the sons1121 of man.1205 O ye simple,6612 understand995 wisdom:6195 and, ye fools,3684 be ye of an understanding995 heart.3820
Proverbs 8:6 Hear;8085 for I will speak1696 of excellent things;5057 and the opening4669 of my lips8193shallbe right things.43397 For my mouth2441 shall speak1897 truth;571 and wickedness7562is an abomination8441 to my lips.8193{Heb. the abomination of my lips}8 All the words561 of my mouth6310are in righteousness;6664thereis nothing froward6617{Heb. wreathed} or perverse6141 in them.
9 They are all plain5228 to him that understandeth,995 and right3477 to them that find4672 knowledge.1847
Proverbs 8:10 Receive3947 my instruction,4148 and not silver;3701 and knowledge1847 rather than choice977 gold.274211 For wisdom2451is better2896 than rubies;6443 and all the things that may be desired2656 are not to be compared7737 to it.
Proverbs 8:12 I wisdom2451 dwell7931 with prudence,6195{Or, subtilty} and find out4672 knowledge1847 of witty inventions.420913 The fear3374 of the LORD3068is to hate8130 evil:7451 pride,1344 and arrogancy,1347 and the evil7451 way,1870 and the froward8419 mouth,6310 do I hate.813014 Counsel6098is mine, and sound wisdom:8454 I am understanding;998 I have strength.1369
Proverbs 8:15 By me kings4428 reign,4427 and princes7336 decree2710 justice.666416 By me princes8269 rule,8323 and nobles,5081even all the judges8199 of the earth.77617 I love157 them that love157 me; and those that seek me early7836 shall find4672 me.
Proverbs 8:18 Riches6239 and honour3519are with me; yea, durable6276 riches1952 and righteousness.666619 My fruit6529is better2896 than gold,2742 yea, than fine gold;6337 and my revenue8393 than choice977 silver.370120 I lead1980{Or, walk} in the way734 of righteousness,6666 in the midst8432 of the paths5410 of judgment:494121 That I may cause those that love157 me to inherit5157 substance;3426 and I will fill4390 their treasures.214
Proverbs 8:22 The LORD3068 possessed7069 me in the beginning7225 of his way,1870 before6924 his works4659 of old.
23 I was set up5258 from everlasting,5769 from the beginning,7218 or ever6924 the earth776 was.
24 When therewere no depths,8415 I was brought forth;2342 when therewere no fountains4599 abounding3513 with water.432525 Before the mountains2022 were settled,2883 before6440 the hills1389 was I brought forth:234226 While as yet he had not made6213 the earth,776 nor the fields,2351{Or, open places} nor the highest{Or, the chief part} part7218 of the dust6083 of the world.839827 When he prepared3559 the heavens,8064 I was there: when he set2710 a compass2329{Or, a circle} upon the face6440 of the depth:841528 When he established553 the clouds7834 above:4605 when he strengthened5810 the fountains5869 of the deep:841529 When he gave7760 to the sea3220 his decree,2706 that the waters4325 should not pass5674 his commandment:6310 when he appointed2710 the foundations4144 of the earth:77630 Then I was by him,681as one brought up525withhim: and I was daily31173117his delight,8191 rejoicing7832 always6256 before6440 him;
31 Rejoicing7832 in the habitable part8398 of his earth;776 and my delights8191were with the sons1121 of men.120
Proverbs 8:32 Now therefore hearken8085 unto me, O ye children:1121 for blessed835aretheythat keep8104 my ways.187033 Hear8085 instruction,4148 and be wise,2449 and refuse6544 it not.
34 Blessed835is the man120 that heareth8085 me, watching8245 daily31173117 at my gates,1817 waiting8104 at the posts4201 of my doors.660735 For whoso findeth4672 me findeth46724672 life,2416 and shall obtain6329{Heb. bring forth} favour7522 of the LORD.306836 But he that sinneth2398 against me wrongeth2554 his own soul:5315 all they that hate8130 me love157 death.4194
