Proverbs - Chapter 8

Pro 8:1	¶	Doth not wisdom ²⁴⁵¹ cry ⁷¹²¹ ? and understanding ⁸³⁹⁴ put forth ⁵⁴¹⁴ her voice ⁶⁹⁶³?
Pro 8:2		She standeth ⁵³²⁴ in the top ⁷²¹⁸ of high places ⁴⁷⁹¹, by the way ¹⁸⁷⁰ in the places ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the paths ⁵⁴¹⁰.
Pro 8:3		She crieth ⁷⁴⁴² at ³⁰²⁷ the gates ⁸¹⁷⁹, at the entry ⁶³¹⁰ of the city ⁷¹⁷⁶, at the coming ³⁹⁹⁶ in at the doors ⁶⁶⁰⁷.
Pro 8:4		Unto you, O men ³⁷⁶, I call ⁷¹²¹ ; and my voice ⁶⁹⁶³ [is] to the sons ¹¹²¹ of man ¹²⁰.
Pro 8:5		O ye simple ⁶⁶¹², understand ⁹⁹⁵ wisdom ⁶¹⁹⁵: and, ye fools ³⁶⁸⁴, be ye of an understanding ⁹⁹⁵ heart ³⁸²⁰.
Pro 8:6		Hear ⁸⁰⁸⁵ ; for I will speak ¹⁶⁹⁶ of excellent things ⁵⁰⁵⁷; and the opening ⁴⁶⁶⁹ of my lips ⁸¹⁹³ [shall be] right things ⁴³³⁹.
Pro 8:7		For my mouth ²⁴⁴¹ shall speak ¹⁸⁹⁷ truth ⁵⁷¹; and wickedness ⁷⁵⁶² [is] an abomination ⁸⁴⁴¹ to my lips ⁸¹⁹³.
Pro 8:8		All the words ⁵⁶¹ of my mouth ⁶³¹⁰ [are] in righteousness ⁶⁶⁶⁴; [there is] nothing froward ⁶⁶¹⁷ or perverse ⁶¹⁴¹ in them.
Pro 8:9		They [are] all plain ⁵²²⁸ to him that understandeth ⁹⁹⁵ , and right ³⁴⁷⁷ to them that find ⁴⁶⁷² knowledge ¹⁸⁴⁷.
Pro 8:10		Receive ³⁹⁴⁷ my instruction ⁴¹⁴⁸, and not silver ³⁷⁰¹; and knowledge ¹⁸⁴⁷ rather than choice ⁹⁷⁷ gold ²⁷⁴².
Pro 8:11		For wisdom ²⁴⁵¹ [is] better ²⁸⁹⁶ than rubies ⁶⁴⁴³; and all the things that may be desired ²⁶⁵⁶ are not to be compared ⁷⁷³⁷ to it.
Pro 8:12	¶	I wisdom ²⁴⁵¹ dwell ⁷⁹³¹ with prudence ⁶¹⁹⁵, and find out ⁴⁶⁷² knowledge ¹⁸⁴⁷ of witty inventions ⁴²⁰⁹.
Pro 8:13		The fear ³³⁷⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ [is] to hate ⁸¹³⁰ evil ⁷⁴⁵¹: pride ¹³⁴⁴, and arrogancy ¹³⁴⁷, and the evil ⁷⁴⁵¹ way ¹⁸⁷⁰, and the froward ⁸⁴¹⁹ mouth ⁶³¹⁰, do I hate ⁸¹³⁰ .
Pro 8:14		Counsel ⁶⁰⁹⁸ [is] mine, and sound wisdom ⁸⁴⁵⁴: I [am] understanding ⁹⁹⁸; I have strength ¹³⁶⁹.
Pro 8:15		By me kings ⁴⁴²⁸ reign ⁴⁴²⁷ , and princes ⁷³³⁶ decree ²⁷¹⁰ justice ⁶⁶⁶⁴.
Pro 8:16		By me princes ⁸²⁶⁹ rule ⁸³²³ , and nobles ⁵⁰⁸¹, [even] all the judges ⁸¹⁹⁹ of the earth ⁷⁷⁶.
Pro 8:17		I love ¹⁵⁷ them that love ¹⁵⁷ me; and those that seek me early ⁷⁸³⁶ shall find ⁴⁶⁷² me.
Pro 8:18		Riches ⁶²³⁹ and honour ³⁵¹⁹ [are] with me; [yea], durable ⁶²⁷⁶ riches ¹⁹⁵² and righteousness ⁶⁶⁶⁶.
Pro 8:19		My fruit ⁶⁵²⁹ [is] better ²⁸⁹⁶ than gold ²⁷⁴², yea, than fine gold ⁶³³⁷; and my revenue ⁸³⁹³ than choice ⁹⁷⁷ silver ³⁷⁰¹.
Pro 8:20		I lead ¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way ⁷³⁴ of righteousness ⁶⁶⁶⁶, in the midst ⁸⁴³² of the paths ⁵⁴¹⁰ of judgment ⁴⁹⁴¹:
Pro 8:21		That I may cause those that love ¹⁵⁷ me to inherit ⁵¹⁵⁷ substance ³⁴²⁶; and I will fill ⁴³⁹⁰ their treasures ²¹⁴.
Pro 8:22	¶	The LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ possessed ⁷⁰⁶⁹ me in the beginning ⁷²²⁵ of his way ¹⁸⁷⁰, before ⁶⁹²⁴ his works ⁴⁶⁵⁹ of old.
Pro 8:23		I was set up ⁵²⁵⁸ from everlasting ⁵⁷⁶⁹, from the beginning ⁷²¹⁸, or ever ⁶⁹²⁴ the earth ⁷⁷⁶ was.
Pro 8:24		When [there were] no depths ⁸⁴¹⁵, I was brought forth ²³⁴² ; when [there were] no fountains ⁴⁵⁹⁹ abounding ³⁵¹³ with water ⁴³²⁵.
Pro 8:25		Before the mountains ²⁰²² were settled ²⁸⁸³ , before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ the hills ¹³⁸⁹ was I brought forth ²³⁴² :
Pro 8:26		While as yet he had not made ⁶²¹³ the earth ⁷⁷⁶, nor the fields ²³⁵¹, nor the highest part ⁷²¹⁸ of the dust ⁶⁰⁸³ of the world ⁸³⁹⁸.
Pro 8:27		When he prepared ³⁵⁵⁹ the heavens ⁸⁰⁶⁴, I [was] there: when he set ²⁷¹⁰ a compass ²³²⁹ upon the face ⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the depth ⁸⁴¹⁵:
Pro 8:28		When he established ⁵⁵³ the clouds ⁷⁸³⁴ above ⁴⁶⁰⁵: when he strengthened ⁵⁸¹⁰ the fountains ⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the deep ⁸⁴¹⁵:
Pro 8:29		When he gave ⁷⁷⁶⁰ to the sea ³²²⁰ his decree ²⁷⁰⁶, that the waters ⁴³²⁵ should not pass ⁵⁶⁷⁴ his commandment ⁶³¹⁰: when he appointed ²⁷¹⁰ the foundations ⁴¹⁴⁴ of the earth ⁷⁷⁶:
Pro 8:30		Then I was by him ⁶⁸¹, [as] one brought up ⁵²⁵ [with him]: and I was daily ³¹¹⁷ ³¹¹⁷ [his] delight ⁸¹⁹¹, rejoicing ⁷⁸³² always ⁶²⁵⁶ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ him;
Pro 8:31		Rejoicing ⁷⁸³² in the habitable part ⁸³⁹⁸ of his earth ⁷⁷⁶; and my delights ⁸¹⁹¹ [were] with the sons ¹¹²¹ of men ¹²⁰.
Pro 8:32	¶	Now therefore hearken ⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto me, O ye children ¹¹²¹: for blessed ⁸³⁵ [are they that] keep ⁸¹⁰⁴ my ways ¹⁸⁷⁰.
Pro 8:33		Hear ⁸⁰⁸⁵ instruction ⁴¹⁴⁸, and be wise ²⁴⁴⁹ , and refuse ⁶⁵⁴⁴ it not.
Pro 8:34		Blessed ⁸³⁵ [is] the man ¹²⁰ that heareth ⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, watching ⁸²⁴⁵ daily ³¹¹⁷ ³¹¹⁷ at my gates ¹⁸¹⁷, waiting ⁸¹⁰⁴ at the posts ⁴²⁰¹ of my doors ⁶⁶⁰⁷.
Pro 8:35		For whoso findeth ⁴⁶⁷² me findeth ⁴⁶⁷² ⁴⁶⁷² life ²⁴¹⁶, and shall obtain ⁶³²⁹ favour ⁷⁵²² of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸.
Pro 8:36		But he that sinneth ²³⁹⁸ against me wrongeth ²⁵⁵⁴ his own soul ⁵³¹⁵: all they that hate ⁸¹³⁰ me love ¹⁵⁷ death ⁴¹⁹⁴.
