| |
| | Pro 8:1 | Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding give forth her voice?
| |
| | Pro 8:2 | On the top of high places by the way, at the cross-paths she taketh her stand.
| |
| | Pro 8:3 | Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud.
| |
| | Pro 8:4 | Unto you, men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of man:
| |
| | Pro 8:5 | O ye simple, understand prudence; and ye foolish, understand sense.
| |
| | Pro 8:6 | Hear, for I will speak excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
| |
| | Pro 8:7 | For my palate shall meditate truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
| |
| | Pro 8:8 | All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing tortuous or perverse in them.
| |
| | Pro 8:9 | They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
| |
| | Pro 8:10 | Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold:
| |
| | Pro 8:11 | for wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not equal to it.
| |
| | Pro 8:12 | I wisdom dwell [with] prudence, and find the knowledge [which cometh] of reflection.
| |
| | Pro 8:13 | The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth do I hate.
| |
| | Pro 8:14 | Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am intelligence; I have strength.
| |
| | Pro 8:15 | By me kings reign, and rulers make just decrees;
| |
| | Pro 8:16 | by me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the earth.
| |
| | Pro 8:17 | I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me.
| |
| | Pro 8:18 | Riches and honour are with me; durable wealth and righteousness.
| |
| | Pro 8:19 | My fruit is better than fine gold, yea, than pure gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
| |
| | Pro 8:20 | I walk in the path of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
| |
| | Pro 8:21 | that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasuries.
| |
| | Pro 8:22 | Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
| |
| | Pro 8:23 | I was set up from eternity, from the beginning, before the earth was.
| |
| | Pro 8:24 | When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water.
| |
| | Pro 8:25 | Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth;
| |
| | Pro 8:26 | while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
| |
| | Pro 8:27 | When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he ordained the circle upon the face of the deep;
| |
| | Pro 8:28 | when he established the skies above, when the fountains of the deep became strong;
| |
| | Pro 8:29 | when he imposed on the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
| |
| | Pro 8:30 | then I was by him [his] nursling, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
| |
| | Pro 8:31 | rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights [were] with the sons of men.
| |
| | Pro 8:32 | And now, sons, hearken unto me, and blessed are they that keep my ways:
| |
| | Pro 8:33 | hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
| |
| | Pro 8:34 | Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
| |
| | Pro 8:35 | For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of Jehovah;
| |
| | Pro 8:36 | but he that sinneth against me doeth violence to his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
