Proverbs 8 Verses
1
|
Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? |
2
|
On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; |
3
|
beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud: |
4
|
"To you, O men, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind. |
5
|
You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding. |
6
|
Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right. |
7
|
My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. |
8
|
All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. |
9
|
To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge. |
10
|
Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, |
11
|
for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. |
12
|
"I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion. |
13
|
To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behaviour and perverse speech. |
14
|
Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have understanding and power. |
15
|
By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just; |
16
|
by me princes govern, and all nobles who rule on earth. |
17
|
I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. |
18
|
With me are riches and honour, enduring wealth and prosperity. |
19
|
My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. |
20
|
I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, |
21
|
bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full. |
22
|
"The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; |
23
|
I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. |
24
|
When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water; |
25
|
before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, |
26
|
before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. |
27
|
I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, |
28
|
when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, |
29
|
when he gave the sea its boundary so that the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. |
30
|
Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, |
31
|
rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind. |
32
|
"Now then, my sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. |
33
|
Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it. |
34
|
Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. |
35
|
For whoever finds me finds life and receives favour from the LORD. |
36
|
But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death." |
