Proverbs - Chapter: 8


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


8:1	Doth not wisedome crie? and vnderstanding vtter her voyce?
8:2	She standeth in the top of the high places by the way in the place of the paths.
8:3	She cryeth besides the gates before the citie at the entrie of the doores,
8:4	O men, I call vnto you, and vtter my voyce to the children of men.
8:5	O ye foolish men, vnderstand wisedome, and ye, O fooles, be wise in heart.
8:6	Giue eare, for I will speake of excellent things, and the opening of my lippes, shall teache things that be right.
8:7	For my mouth shall speake the trueth, and my lippes abhorre wickednesse.
8:8	All the wordes of my mouth are righteous: there is no lewdenes, nor frowardnesse in them.
8:9	They are all plaine to him that will vnderstande, and streight to them that woulde finde knowledge.
8:10	Receiue mine instruction, and not siluer, and knowledge rather then fine golde.
8:11	For wisdome is better then precious stones: and all pleasures are not to be compared vnto her.
8:12	I wisdome dwell with prudence, and I find foorth knowledge and counsels.
8:13	The feare of the Lord is to hate euill as pride, and arrogancie, and the euill way: and a mouth that speaketh lewde things, I doe hate.
8:14	I haue counsell and wisedome: I am vnderstanding, and I haue strength.
8:15	By me, Kings reigne, and princes decree iustice.
8:16	By me princes rule and the nobles, and all the iudges of the earth.
8:17	I loue them that loue me: and they that seeke me earely, shall finde me.
8:18	Riches and honour are with me: euen durable riches and righteousnesse.
8:19	My fruite is better then golde, euen then fine golde, and my reuenues better then fine siluer.
8:20	I cause to walke in the way of righteousnes, and in the middes of the paths of iudgement,
8:21	That I may cause them that loue me, to inherite substance, and I will fill their treasures.
8:22	The Lord hath possessed me in the beginning of his way: I was before his workes of olde.
8:23	I was set vp from euerlasting, from the beginning and before the earth.
8:24	When there were no depths, was I begotten, when there were no fountaines abounding with water.
8:25	Before the mountaines were setled: and before the hilles, was I begotten.
8:26	He had not yet made the earth, nor the open places, nor the height of the dust in the worlde.
8:27	When hee prepared the heauens, I was there, when he set the compasse vpon the deepe.
8:28	When he established the cloudes aboue, when he confirmed the fountaines of the deepe,
8:29	When he gaue his decree to the Sea, that the waters shoulde not passe his commandement: when he appointed the foundations of the earth,
8:30	Then was I with him as a nourisher, and I was dayly his delight reioycing alway before him,
8:31	And tooke my solace in the compasse of his earth: and my delite is with the children of men.
8:32	Therefore nowe hearken, O children, vnto me: for blessed are they that keepe my wayes.
8:33	Heare instruction, and be ye wise, and refuse it not: blessed is the man that heareth mee, watching dayly at my gates, and giuing attendance at the postes of my doores.
8:34	For he that findeth me, findeth life, and shall obteine fauour of the Lord.
8:35	But he that sinneth against me, hurteth his owne soule: and all that hate me, loue death.
