Proverbs 8
Doth
not
wisdom
a
cry?
and
understanding
put
forth
her
voice?
2 She
standeth
in
the
top
of
high
places,
by
the
way
in
the
places
of
the
paths.
3 She
crieth
at
the
gates,
at
the
entry
of
the
city,
at
the
coming
in
at
the
doors.
4 Unto
you,
O
men,
I
call;
and
my
voice
is
to
the
sons
of
man.
5 O
ye
a
simple,
understand
wisdom:
and,
ye
fools,
be
ye
of
an
understanding
b
heart.
6 Hear;
for
I
will
speak
of
excellent
things;
and
the
opening
of
my
lips
shall
be
right
things.
7 For
my
mouth
shall
a
speak
b
truth;
and
wickedness
is
an
abomination
to
my
lips.
8 All
the
words
of
my
mouth
are
in
righteousness;
there
is
nothing
froward
or
perverse
in
them.
9 They
are
all
plain
to
him
that
a
understandeth,
and
right
to
them
that
find
b
knowledge.
10 Receive
my
instruction,
and
not
silver;
and
knowledge
rather
than
choice
gold.
11 For
a
wisdom
is
better
than
b
rubies;
and
all
the
things
that
may
be
desired
are
not
to
be
compared
to
it.
12 I
wisdom
dwell
with
a
prudence,
and
find
out
knowledge
of
witty
inventions.
13 The
a
fear
of
the
Lord
is
to
b
hate
evil:
pride,
and
arrogancy,
and
the
evil
way,
and
the
froward
mouth,
do
I
hate.
14 Counsel
is
mine,
and
sound
wisdom:
I
am
understanding;
I
have
strength.
15 By
me
a
kings
reign,
and
princes
decree
justice.
16 By
me
princes
rule,
and
nobles,
even
all
the
judges
of
the
earth.
17 I
a
love
them
that
love
me;
and
those
that
seek
me
early
shall
find
me.
18 Riches
and
honour
are
with
me;
yea,
durable
a
riches
and
righteousness.
19 My
fruit
is
better
than
gold,
yea,
than
fine
gold;
and
my
revenue
than
choice
silver.
20 I
lead
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
I
will
fill
their
treasures.
22 The
Lord
possessed
me
in
the
beginning
of
his
way,
before
his
a
works
of
old.
23 I
was
set
up
from
a
everlasting,
from
the
b
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
a
the
highest
part
of
the
dust
of
the
world.
27 When
he
prepared
the
heavens,
I
was
there:
when
he
set
a
a
compass
upon
the
face
of
the
depth:
28 When
he
established
the
clouds
above:
when
he
strengthened
the
fountains
of
the
deep:
29 When
he
gave
to
the
sea
his
decree,
that
the
waters
should
not
pass
his
commandment:
when
he
appointed
the
foundations
of
the
earth:
30 Then
I
was
by
him,
as
one
brought
up
with
him:
and
I
was
daily
his
delight,
rejoicing
always
before
him;
31 Rejoicing
in
the
habitable
part
of
his
earth;
and
my
delights
were
with
the
sons
of
men.
32 Now
therefore
hearken
unto
me,
O
ye
children:
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
a
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
a
death.
