Proverbs 8 Verses
1
|
Doth not wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice? |
2
|
In the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she standeth; |
3
|
Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud: |
4
|
Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of men. |
5
|
O ye simple, understand subtilty; and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. |
6
|
Hear, for I will speak excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. |
7
|
For my mouth shall utter truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. |
8
|
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing crooked or perverse in them. |
9
|
They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. |
10
|
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. |
11
|
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto her. |
12
|
I wisdom have made subtilty my dwelling, and find out knowledge {cf15i and} discretion. |
13
|
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. |
14
|
Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge: I am understanding; I have might. |
15
|
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. |
16
|
By me princes rule, and nobles, {cf15i even} all the judges of the earth. |
17
|
I love them that love me; and those that seek me diligently shall find me. |
18
|
Riches and honour are with me; {cf15i yea}, durable riches and righteousness. |
19
|
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. |
20
|
I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: |
21
|
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and that I may fill their treasuries. |
22
|
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. |
23
|
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. |
24
|
When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. |
25
|
Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: |
26
|
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world. |
27
|
When he established the heavens, I was there: when he set a circle upon the face of the deep: |
28
|
When he made firm the sides above: when the fountains of the deep became strong: |
29
|
When he gave to the sea its bound, that the waters should not transgress his commandment: when he marked out the foundations of the earth: |
30
|
Then I was by him, {cf15i as} a master workman: and I was daily {cf15i his} delight, rejoicing always before him; |
31
|
Rejoicing in his habitable earth; and my delight was with the sons of men. |
32
|
Now therefore, {cf15i my} sons, hearken unto me: for blessed are they that keep my ways. |
33
|
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. |
34
|
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. |
35
|
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. |
36
|
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. |
