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