Proverbs 8
- 1 Doth not wisdom call? And understanding give forth her voice?
- 2 At the head of high places by the way, Between the paths she hath stood,
- 3 At the side of the gates, at the mouth of the city, The entrance of the openings, she crieth aloud,
-
4 `Unto you, O men, I call, And my voice
is unto the sons of men. - 5 Understand, ye simple ones, prudence, And ye fools, understand the heart,
-
6 Hearken, for noble things I speak, And the opening of my lips
is uprightness. -
7 For truth doth my mouth utter, And an abomination to my lips
is wickedness. -
8 In righteousness
are all the sayings of my mouth, Nothing in them is froward and perverse. -
9 All of them
are plain to the intelligent, And upright to those finding knowledge. - 10 Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold.
-
11 For better
is wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are not comparable with it. - 12 I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out.
-
13 The fear of Jehovah
is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated. -
14 Mine
is counsel and substance, I am understanding, I have might. - 15 By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness,
- 16 By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth.
- 17 I love those loving me, And those seeking me earnestly do find me.
-
18 Wealth and honour
are with me, Lasting substance and righteousness. -
19 Better
is my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver. - 20 In a path of righteousness I cause to walk, In midst of paths of judgment,
- 21 To cause my lovers to inherit substance, Yea, their treasures I fill.
- 22 Jehovah possessed me--the beginning of His way, Before His works since then.
- 23 From the age I was anointed, from the first, From former states of the earth.
-
24 In there being no depths, I was brought forth, In there being no fountains heavy
with waters, - 25 Before mountains were sunk, Before heights, I was brought forth.
- 26 While He had not made the earth, and out-places, And the top of the dusts of the world.
-
27 In His preparing the heavens I
am there, In His decreeing a circle on the face of the deep, - 28 In His strengthening clouds above, In His making strong fountains of the deep,
- 29 In His setting for the sea its limit, And the waters transgress not His command, In His decreeing the foundations of earth,
- 30 Then I am near Him, a workman, And I am a delight--day by day. Rejoicing before Him at all times,
-
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth, And my delights
are with the sons of men. - 32 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, Yea, happy are they who keep my ways.
- 33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and slight not.
- 34 O the happiness of the man hearkening to me, To watch at my doors day by day, To watch at the door-posts of my entrance.
- 35 For whoso is finding me, hath found life, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.
- 36 And whoso is missing me, is wronging his soul, All hating me have loved death!
