Proverbs 8
1 The fame, 6 and evidency of wisdom. 1 The excellency, 12 the nature, 15 the power, 18 the riches, 22 and the eternity of wisdom. 32 Wisdom is to be desired for the blessedness it bringeth.

8:1 ¶
Doth not, wisdom, cry aloud? and, understanding, send forth her voice?

8:2
At the top of the high places above the way, at the place where paths meet, she taketh her stand:

8:3
Beside the gates, at the entrance of the city,at the going in of the openings, she shouteth:

8:4
Unto you, O men, I call, and, my voice, is unto the sons of men;

8:5
Understand, ye simple ones, shrewdness, and, ye dullards understand sense;

8:6
Hear, for, princely things, will I speak, and the opening of my lips shall be of equity;

8:7
For, faithfulness, shall my mouth softly utter, but, the abomination of my lips, shall be lawlessness;

8:8
In righteousness, shall be all the sayings of my mouth, nothing therein, shall be crafty or perverse;

8:9
All of them, shall be plain, to them who would understand, and just, to such as would gain knowledge.

8:10
Receive my correction, and not silver, and knowledge, rather than choicest gold.

8:11
For better is wisdom, than ornaments of coral, and, no delightful things, can equal her.

8:12 ¶
I, wisdom, inhabit shrewdness,and, the knowledge of sagacious things, I gain.

8:13
The reverence of Yahweh, is to hate wickedness: pride, arrogance, and the way of wickedness; And a mouth of perverse things, do I hate.

8:14
Mine, are counsel, and effective working, I, am understanding, mine, is valour:

8:15
By me, kings reign, and dignitaries decree righteousness;

8:16
By me, rulers govern, and noblesall the righteous judges:

8:17
I, love, them who love me, and, they who diligently seek me, find me:

8:18
Riches and honour, are with me, lordly wealth, and righteousness;

8:19
Better is my fruit, than goldyea fine gold, and mine increase, than choice silver;

8:20
In the way of righteousness, I march along, in the middle of the paths of justice:

8:21
That I may cause them who love me to inherit substance, and, their treasuries, I may fill.

8:22 ¶
Yahweh, had constituted me the beginning of his way, before his works, at the commencement of that time;

8:23
At the outset of the ages, had I been established, in advance of the antiquities of the earth;

8:24
When there was no resounding deep, I had been brought forth, when there were no fountains, abounding with water;

8:25
Ere yet the mountains had been settled, before the hills, had I been brought forth;

8:26
Or ever he had made the land and the wastes, or the top of the dry parts of the world:

8:27
When he prepared the heavens, there, was I! When he decreed a vault upon the face of the resounding deep;

8:28
When he made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the resounding deep, waxed strong;

8:29
When he fixed for the sea its bound, that, the waters, should not go beyond his bidding, when he decreed the foundations of the earth:

8:30
Then became I beside him, a firm and sure worker, then became I filled with delight, day by day, exulting before him on every occasion;

8:31
Exulting in the fruitful land of his earth, Yea, my fulness of delight, was with the sons of men.

8:32 ¶
Now, therefore, ye sons, hearken to me, for how happy are they who, to my ways, pay regard!

8:33
Hear ye correction, and be wise, and do not neglect.

8:34
How happy the man that doth hearken to me,keeping guard at my doors, day by day, watching at the posts of my gates;

8:35
For, he that findeth me, findeth life, and hath obtained favour from Yahweh;

8:36
But, he that misseth me, wrongeth his own soul, all who hate me, love death.
