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 wysdome crye? doth not vnderstandynge put forth her voyce?
8:2	Standeth she not in the hye places in the stretes and wayes?
8:3	doth she not crye before the whole cytie, and in the gates where men go out and in?
8:4	It is you, O ye men (sayeth she) whom I call: Unto (the chyldren of men) do I lyft vp my voyce.
8:5	Take hede vnto knowledge O ye ignoraunt be wyse in herte, O ye foles.
8:6	Geue eare, for I wyll speake of greate matters, and open my lyppes to tell thynges that be ryght.
8:7	For my throte shalbe talkynge of the trueth and my lyppes abhorre vngodlynesse.
8:8	All the wordes of my mouth are righteous, there is no frowarnedsse nor falshede therin.
8:9	They are all playne to soche as wyll vnderstande, and ryght to them that fynde knowledge.
8:10	Receaue my doctryne, and not syluer: and my knowledge, more then fyne golde.
8:11	For wysdome is more worth then precious stones, yee all thynges that thou canst desyre, maye not be compared vnto it.
8:12	I wysdome haue my dwellynge with knowledge, and prudent councell is myne awne.
8:13	The feare of the Lorde abhorreth wyckednesse, pryde dysdayne, and the euell waye: and a mouth that speaketh wycked thynges, I vtterly abhorre.
8:14	I can geue councell, and I conferre thinges: I haue vnderstanding, I haue strength.
8:15	Thorowe me, kynges reygne: thorowe me counselars make iust lawes.
8:16	Thorowe me, do prynces beare rule, and all iudges of the earth execute iudgement.
8:17	I am louynge vnto those that loue me: and they that seke me early shall fynde me.
8:18	Ryches and honoure are with me, ye excellent goodes and ryghteousnes.
8:19	My frute is better then golde and precious stone, and myne encrease more worth then fyne syluer.
8:20	I wyll guyde the in the waye of ryghteousnes, and in the strete of iudgement.
8:21	That I maye sende prosperite to those that loue me, and to encrease their treasure.
8:22	The Lorde him selfe had me in possessyon in the begynnynge of his wayes, or euer he beganne his worckes a fore tyme.
8:23	I haue bene ordened from euerlastynge, and from the begynnynge or euer the earth was made.
8:24	When I was borne, there were nether depthes nor sprynges of water.
8:25	Before the foundacyons of the mountaynes were layed, yee before all hylles was I borne.
8:26	The earth and all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it selfe.
8:27	For when he made the heauens, I was present: when he sett vp the depthes in ordre,
8:28	when he hanged the cloudes aboue: when he fastened the sprynges of the depe:
8:29	When he shut the see within certayne bowndes, that the waters shulde not go ouer their marckes that he commaunded. When he layed the foundacyons of the earth
8:30	I was with him, ordrynge all thynges: delytinge dayly, and reioysynge all waye before him.
8:31	As for the rounde compase of thys worlde, I make it ioyfull: for my delyte is to be amonge the chyldren of men.
8:32	Therfore herken vnto me, O ye chyldren, blessed are they that kepe my wayes.
8:33	O geue eare vnto nurtoure, be wyse, and refuse it not.
8:34	Blessed is the man that heareth me, watchynge dayly at my gates, and geuynge attendaunce at the postes of my dores.
8:35	For who so fyndeth me, fyndeth lyfe, and shall obtayne fauour of the Lorde.
8:36	But who so offendeth agaynst me, hurteth his awne soule. All they that hate me, are the louers of death.
