Proverbs - ch 8 v 1 - 20
- Doth not wisdom cry, And understanding put forth her voice?
- On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she standeth;
- Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:
- Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men.
- O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.
- Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.
- For my mouth shall utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
- All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked 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 unto it.
- I wisdom have made prudence my dwelling, And find out knowledge `and' discretion.
- The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate.
- Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge: I am understanding; I have might.
- 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 diligently shall find me.
- Riches and honor are with me; `Yea', durable wealth and righteousness.
- My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my revenue than choice silver.
- I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;
