Proverbs 8 Verses
1
|
Listen as Wisdom calls out! Hear as understanding raises her voice! |
2
|
On the hilltop along the road, she takes her stand at the crossroads. |
3
|
By the gates at the entrance to the town, on the road leading in, she cries aloud, |
4
|
"I call to you, to all of you! I raise my voice to all people. |
5
|
You simple people, use good judgment. You foolish people, show some understanding. |
6
|
Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you. Everything I say is right, |
7
|
for I speak the truth and detest every kind of deception. |
8
|
My advice is wholesome. There is nothing devious or crooked in it. |
9
|
My words are plain to anyone with understanding, clear to those with knowledge. |
10
|
Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. |
11
|
For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it. |
12
|
"I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment. |
13
|
All who fear the LORD will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech. |
14
|
Common sense and success belong to me. Insight and strength are mine. |
15
|
Because of me, kings reign, and rulers make just decrees. |
16
|
Rulers lead with my help, and nobles make righteous judgments. |
17
|
"I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me. |
18
|
I have riches and honor, as well as enduring wealth and justice. |
19
|
My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold, my wages better than sterling silver! |
20
|
I walk in righteousness, in paths of justice. |
21
|
Those who love me inherit wealth. I will fill their treasuries. |
22
|
"The LORD formed me from the beginning, before he created anything else. |
23
|
I was appointed in ages past, at the very first, before the earth began. |
24
|
I was born before the oceans were created, before the springs bubbled forth their waters. |
25
|
Before the mountains were formed, before the hills, I was born-- |
26
|
before he had made the earth and fields and the first handfuls of soil. |
27
|
I was there when he established the heavens, when he drew the horizon on the oceans. |
28
|
I was there when he set the clouds above, when he established springs deep in the earth. |
29
|
I was there when he set the limits of the seas, so they would not spread beyond their boundaries. And when he marked off the earth's foundations, |
30
|
I was the architect at his side. I was his constant delight, rejoicing always in his presence. |
31
|
And how happy I was with the world he created; how I rejoiced with the human family! |
32
|
"And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful. |
33
|
Listen to my instruction and be wise. Don't ignore it. |
34
|
Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home! |
35
|
For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD. |
36
|
But those who miss me injure themselves. All who hate me love death." |
