Proverbs 8:1--9:11

Doth not wisdom
<02451>

cry
<07121> (8799)_?

and understanding
<08394>

put forth
<05414> (8799)

her voice
<06963>_?

She standeth
<05324> (8738)

in the top
<07218>

of high places
<04791>_,

by the way
<01870>

in the places
<01004>

of the paths
<05410>_.

She crieth
<07442> (8799)

at
<03027>

the gates
<08179>_,

at the entry
<06310>

of the city
<07176>_,

at the coming
<03996>

in at the doors
<06607>_.

Unto you, O men
<0376>_,

I call
<07121> (8799)_;

and my voice
<06963>

[is] to the sons
<01121>

of man
<0120>_.

O ye simple
<06612>_,

understand
<0995> (8685)

wisdom
<06195>_:

and, ye fools
<03684>_,

be ye of an understanding
<0995> (8685)

heart
<03820>_.

Hear
<08085> (8798)_;

for I will speak
<01696> (8762)

of excellent things
<05057>_;

and the opening
<04669>

of my lips
<08193>

[shall be] right things
<04339>_.

For my mouth
<02441>

shall speak
<01897> (8799)

truth
<0571>_;

and wickedness
<07562>

[is] an abomination
<08441>

to my lips
<08193>_.

{an...: Heb. the abomination of my lips}

All the words
<0561>

of my mouth
<06310>

[are] in righteousness
<06664>_;

[there is] nothing froward
<06617> (8737)

or perverse
<06141>

in them. {froward: Heb. wreathed}

They [are] all plain
<05228>

to him that understandeth
<0995> (8688)_,

and right
<03477>

to them that find
<04672> (8802)

knowledge
<01847>_.

Receive
<03947> (8798)

my instruction
<04148>_,

and not silver
<03701>_;

and knowledge
<01847>

rather than choice
<0977> (8737)

gold
<02742>_.

For wisdom
<02451>

[is] better
<02896>

than rubies
<06443>_;

and all the things that may be desired
<02656>

are not to be compared
<07737> (8799)

to it.

I wisdom
<02451>

dwell
<07931> (8804)

with prudence
<06195>_,

and find out
<04672> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>

of witty inventions
<04209>_.

{prudence: or, subtilty}

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] to hate
<08130> (8800)

evil
<07451>_:

pride
<01344>_,

and arrogancy
<01347>_,

and the evil
<07451>

way
<01870>_,

and the froward
<08419>

mouth
<06310>_,

do I hate
<08130> (8804)_.

Counsel
<06098>

[is] mine, and sound wisdom
<08454>_:

I [am] understanding
<0998>_;

I have strength
<01369>_.

By me kings
<04428>

reign
<04427> (8799)_,

and princes
<07336> (8802)

decree
<02710> (8779)

justice
<06664>_.

By me princes
<08269>

rule
<08323> (8799)_,

and nobles
<05081>_,

[even] all the judges
<08199> (8802)

of the earth
<0776>_.

I love
<0157> (8799)

them that love
<0157> (8802)

me; and those that seek me early
<07836> (8764)

shall find
<04672> (8799)

me.

Riches
<06239>

and honour
<03519>

[are] with me; [yea], durable
<06276>

riches
<01952>

and righteousness
<06666>_.

My fruit
<06529>

[is] better
<02896>

than gold
<02742>_,

yea, than fine gold
<06337>_;

and my revenue
<08393>

than choice
<0977> (8737)

silver
<03701>_.

I lead
<01980> (8762)

in the way
<0734>

of righteousness
<06666>_,

in the midst
<08432>

of the paths
<05410>

of judgment
<04941>_:

{lead: or, walk}

That I may cause those that love
<0157> (8802)

me to inherit
<05157> (8687)

substance
<03426>_;

and I will fill
<04390> (8762)

their treasures
<0214>_.

The LORD
<03068>

possessed
<07069> (8804)

me in the beginning
<07225>

of his way
<01870>_,

before
<06924>

his works
<04659>

of old.

I was set up
<05258> (8738)

from everlasting
<05769>_,

from the beginning
<07218>_,

or ever
<06924>

the earth
<0776>

was.

When [there were] no depths
<08415>_,

I was brought forth
<02342> (8797)_;

when [there were] no fountains
<04599>

abounding
<03513> (8737)

with water
<04325>_.

Before the mountains
<02022>

were settled
<02883> (8717)_,

before
<06440>

the hills
<01389>

was I brought forth
<02342> (8797)_:

While as yet he had not made
<06213> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_,

nor the fields
<02351>_,

nor the highest part
<07218>

of the dust
<06083>

of the world
<08398>_.

{fields: or, open places} {the highest...: or, the chief part}

When he prepared
<03559> (8687)

the heavens
<08064>_,

I [was] there: when he set
<02710> (8800)

a compass
<02329>

upon the face
<06440>

of the depth
<08415>_:

{a compass: or, a circle}

When he established
<0553> (8763)

the clouds
<07834>

above
<04605>_:

when he strengthened
<05810> (8800)

the fountains
<05869>

of the deep
<08415>_:

When he gave
<07760> (8800)

to the sea
<03220>

his decree
<02706>_,

that the waters
<04325>

should not pass
<05674> (8799)

his commandment
<06310>_:

when he appointed
<02710> (8800)

the foundations
<04144>

of the earth
<0776>_:

Then I was by him
<0681>_,

[as] one brought up
<0525>

[with him]: and I was daily
<03117> <03117>

[his] delight
<08191>_,

rejoicing
<07832> (8764)

always
<06256>

before
<06440>

him;

Rejoicing
<07832> (8764)

in the habitable part
<08398>

of his earth
<0776>_;

and my delights
<08191>

[were] with the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_.

Now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me, O ye children
<01121>_:

for blessed
<0835>

[are they that] keep
<08104> (8799)

my ways
<01870>_.

Hear
<08085> (8798)

instruction
<04148>_,

and be wise
<02449> (8798)_,

and refuse
<06544> (8799)

it not.

Blessed
<0835>

[is] the man
<0120>

that heareth
<08085> (8802)

me, watching
<08245> (8800)

daily
<03117> <03117>

at my gates
<01817>_,

waiting
<08104> (8800)

at the posts
<04201>

of my doors
<06607>_.

For whoso findeth
<04672> (8802)

me findeth
<04672> (8804) (8675) <04672> (8802)

life
<02416>_,

and shall obtain
<06329> (8686)

favour
<07522>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{obtain: Heb. bring forth}

But he that sinneth
<02398> (8802)

against me wrongeth
<02554> (8802)

his own soul
<05315>_:

all they that hate
<08130> (8764)

me love
<0157> (8804)

death
<04194>_.

Wisdom
<02454>

hath builded
<01129> (8804)

her house
<01004>_,

she hath hewn out
<02672> (8804)

her seven
<07651>

pillars
<05982>_:

She hath killed
<02873> (8804)

her beasts
<02874>_;

she hath mingled
<04537> (8804)

her wine
<03196>_;

she hath also furnished
<06186> (8804)

her table
<07979>_.

{her beasts: Heb. her killing}

She hath sent forth
<07971> (8804)

her maidens
<05291>_:

she crieth
<07121> (8799)

upon
<01610>

the highest places
<04791>

of the city
<07176>_,

Whoso [is] simple
<06612>_,

let him turn in
<05493> (8799)

hither: [as for] him that wanteth
<02638>

understanding
<03820>_,

she saith
<0559> (8804)

to him,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

eat
<03898> (8798)

of my bread
<03899>_,

and drink
<08354> (8798)

of the wine
<03196>

[which] I have mingled
<04537> (8804)_.

Forsake
<05800> (8798)

the foolish
<06612>_,

and live
<02421> (8798)_;

and go
<0833> (8798)

in the way
<01870>

of understanding
<0998>_.

He that reproveth
<03256> (8802)

a scorner
<03887> (8801)

getteth
<03947> (8802)

to himself shame
<07036>_:

and he that rebuketh
<03198> (8688)

a wicked
<07563>

[man getteth] himself a blot
<03971>_.

Reprove
<03198> (8686)

not a scorner
<03887> (8801)_,

lest he hate
<08130> (8799)

thee: rebuke
<03198> (8685)

a wise man
<02450>_,

and he will love
<0157> (8799)

thee.

Give
<05414> (8798)

[instruction] to a wise
<02450>

[man], and he will be yet wiser
<02449> (8799)_:

teach
<03045> (8685)

a just
<06662>

[man], and he will increase
<03254> (8686)

in learning
<03948>_.

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] the beginning
<08462>

of wisdom
<02451>_:

and the knowledge
<01847>

of the holy
<06918>

[is] understanding
<0998>_.

For by me thy days
<03117>

shall be multiplied
<07235> (8799)_,

and the years
<08141>

of thy life
<02416>

shall be increased
<03254> (8686)_.
