Proverbs #8


PROVERBS 8
“The Excellence of Wisdom”

Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift
up her voice?

2 She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, Beside
the way, where the paths meet.

3 She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the entrance of the doors:

4 "To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of
men.

5 O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools,
be of an understanding heart.

6 Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from
the opening of my lips will come right things;

7 For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an
abomination to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are with righteousness;
Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.

9 They are all plain to him who understands, And right
to those who find knowledge.

10 Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge
rather than choice gold;

11 For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things
one may desire cannot be compared with her.”

12 "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge
and discretion.

13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and
arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth
I hate.

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding,
I have strength.

15 By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice.

16 By me princes rule, and nobles, All the judges of the
earth.

17 I love those who love me, And those who seek me
diligently will find me.

18 Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and
righteousness.

19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold,
And my revenue than choice silver.

20 I traverse the way of righteousness, In the midst
of the paths of justice,

21 That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
That I may fill their treasuries.”

22 "The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old.

23 I have been established from everlasting, From the
beginning, before there was ever an earth.

24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, When
there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills,
I was brought forth;

26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,
Or the primal dust of the world.

27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He
drew a circle on the face of the deep,

28 When He established the clouds above, When He
strengthened the fountains of the deep,

29 When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the
waters would not transgress His command, When He marked
out the foundations of the earth,

30 Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I
was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,

31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was
with the sons of men.”

32 “Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed
are those who keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it.

34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily
at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor
from the Lord;

36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All
those who hate me love death."

God Bless you -
