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