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