29 Proverbs of Solomon 8:1

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

29 Proverbs of Solomon 8:1-36 ¹Doth not wisdom cry,

And understanding put forth her voice?

²On the top of high places by the way,

Where the paths meet, she standeth;

³Beside the gates, at the entry of the city,

At the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:

⁴Unto you, O men, I call;

And my voice is to the sons of men.

⁵O ye simple, understand prudence;

And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.

⁶Hear, for I will speak excellent things;

And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

⁷For my mouth shall utter truth;

And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

⁸All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;

There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

⁹They are all plain to him that understandeth,

And right to them that find knowledge.

¹⁰Receive my instruction, and not silver;

And knowledge rather than choice gold.

¹¹For wisdom is better than rubies;

And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.

¹²I wisdom have made prudence my dwelling,

And find out knowledge and discretion.

¹³The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil:

Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,

And the perverse mouth, do I hate.

¹⁴Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge:

I am understanding; I have might.

¹⁵By me kings reign,

And princes decree justice.

¹⁶By me princes rule,

And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

¹⁷I love them that love me;

And those that seek me diligently shall find me.

¹⁸Riches and honor are with me;

Yea, durable wealth and righteousness.

¹⁹My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;

And my revenue than choice silver.

²⁰I walk in the way of righteousness,

In the midst of the paths of justice;

²¹That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance,

And that I may fill their treasuries.

²²Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way,

Before his works of old.

²³I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,

Before the earth was.

²⁴When there were no depths, I was brought forth,

When there were no fountains abounding with water.

²⁵Before the mountains were settled,

Before the hills was I brought forth;

²⁶While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,

Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

²⁷When he established the heavens, I was there:

When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,

²⁸When he made firm the skies above,

When the fountains of the deep became strong,

²⁹When he gave to the sea its bound,

That the waters should not transgress his commandment,

When he marked out the foundations of the earth;

³⁰Then I was by him, as a master workman;

And I was daily his delight,

Rejoicing always before him,

³¹Rejoicing in his habitable earth;

And my delight was with the sons of men.

³²Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me;

For blessed are they that keep my ways.

³³Hear instruction, and be wise,

And refuse it not.

³⁴Blessed is the man that heareth me,

Watching daily at my gates,

Waiting at the posts of my doors.

³⁵For whoso findeth me findeth life,

And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.

³⁶But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:(ASV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 8:1-36 ¹THEREFORE preach wisdom, and understanding will answer you. ²For wisdom is on the top of high places, she stands between the ways and by the paths. ³She cries at the gates, at the entrance of the city; she cries aloud, saying, ⁴Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of men, ⁵So that the simple ones may understand prudence and the fools understand in their heart. ⁶Hear, for I will speak truth; and the opening of my mouth shall bring forth uprightness. ⁷For my mouth shall speak truth, and lying lips are an abomination before me. ⁸All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing perverse or deceptive in them. ⁹They are all plain to him who understands them, and right to those who are willing to find knowledge. ¹⁰Receive discipline and not silver; and choose for yourself knowledge rather than fine gold. ¹¹For wisdom is much better than fine gold; yea, she is better than precious stones, and nothing can be compared to her.

¹²¶ I wisdom have created prudence, and I posses knowledge and reason. ¹³Reverence of the LORD despises evil; pride, arrogance, evil ways, and perverse speech do I hate. ¹⁴counsel and sound doctrine are mine; mine is understanding and might. ¹⁵By me kings reign and princes decree justice. ¹⁶By me princes and nobles rule, even all the righteous judges of the earth. ¹⁷I love those who love me; and those who seek me shall find me. ¹⁸Riches and honor are mine; yea, enduring riches and righteousness. ¹⁹My fruit is better than fine gold, and my ingathering than choice silver. ²⁰I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice, ²¹That I may cause those that love me to have hope; and I will fill their treasuries.

²²¶ The LORD created me as the first of his creations, before all of his works. ²³I was established from everlasting, from the beginning, before he made the earth. ²⁴When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. ²⁵Before the mountains were settled, before the hills were formed was I conceived; ²⁶While as yet he had not made the earth nor the valleys nor the best soil of the world. ²⁷When he established the heavens, I was there; when he set a circle upon the face of the deep; ²⁸When he made firm the clouds above; when he strengthened the fountains of the deep; ²⁹When he gave to the sea its bounds, that the waters should not transgress his commandment; when he laid down the foundations of the earth: ³⁰I together with him was establishing them; and daily I was his delight, rejoicing always before him, ³¹Rejoicing in his habitable earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

³²¶ Now therefore hearken to me, O you children; for blessed is he who keeps my ways. ³³Hear instruction and be wise and do not go astray. ³⁴Blessed is the man who heeds me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my threshold. ³⁵For my objectives are the issues of life, they proclaim the will of the LORD. ³⁶Those who sin against me wrong their own soul; all those who hate me love death. (LAM)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 8:1-36 ¹Does not wisdom call, does not understanding raise her voice? ²On the heights beside the way, in the paths she takes her stand; ³beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud: ⁴"To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the sons of men. ⁵O simple ones, learn prudence; O foolish men, pay attention. ⁶Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right; ⁷for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. ⁸All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. ⁹They are all straight to him who understands and right to those who find knowledge. ¹⁰Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold; ¹¹for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. ¹²I, wisdom, dwell in prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion. ¹³The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. ¹⁴I have counsel and sound wisdom, I have insight, I have strength. ¹⁵By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; ¹⁶by me princes rule, and nobles govern the earth. ¹⁷I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. ¹⁸Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and prosperity. ¹⁹My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. ²⁰I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice, ²¹endowing with wealth those who love me, and filling their treasuries. ²²The LORD created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. ²³Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. ²⁴When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. ²⁵Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth; ²⁶before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. ²⁷When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, ²⁸when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, ²⁹when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, ³⁰then I was beside him, like a master workman; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, ³¹rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the sons of men. ³²And now, my sons, listen to me: happy are those who keep my ways. ³³Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. ³⁴Happy is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. ³⁵For he who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD; ³⁶but he who misses me injures himself; all who hate me love death." (RSV)

29 Proverbs of Solomon 8:1-36 ¹Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? ²On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; ³beside 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. ⁵You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding. ⁶Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right. ⁷My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. ⁸All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. ⁹To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge. ¹⁰Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, ¹¹for 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. ¹³To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. ¹⁴Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have understanding and power. ¹⁵By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just; ¹⁶by me princes govern, and all nobles who rule on earth. ¹⁷I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. ¹⁸With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. ¹⁹My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. ²⁰I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, ²¹bestowing 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; ²³I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. ²⁴When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water; ²⁵before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, ²⁶before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. ²⁷I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, ²⁸when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, ²⁹when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. ³⁰Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, ³¹rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind. ³²"Now then, my sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. ³³Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it. ³⁴Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. ³⁵For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD. ³⁶But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death."(NIV)
