Proverbs - Chapter: 8

>
8:1Doeth not Wisedome crie? & Understanding put foorth her voice?
8:2Shee standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the pathes.
8:3She cryeth at the gates, at the entrie of the citie, at the comming in at the doores.
8:4Unto you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sonnes of man.
8:5O yee simple, vnderstand wisedome: and yee fooles, be yee of an vnderstanding heart.
8:6Heare, for I will speake of excellent things: and the opening of my lippes shalbe right things.
8:7For my mouth shall speake truth, and wickednesse is an abomination to my lippes.
8:8All the words of my mouth are in righteousnes, there is nothing froward or peruerse in them.
8:9They are all plaine to him that vnderstandeth: and right to them that find knowledge.
8:10Receiue my instruction, and not siluer: and knowledge rather then choise gold.
8:11For wisedome is better then rubies: and all the things that may be desired, are not to be compared to it.
8:12I wisedome dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inuentions.
8:13The feare of the Lord is to hate euill: pride and arrogancie, and the euill way, and the froward mouth doe I hate.
8:14Counsell is mine, and sound wisedome: I am vnderstanding, I haue strength.
8:15By me kings reigne, and princes decree iustice.
8:16By me Princes rule, and Nobles, euen all the Iudges of the earth.
8:17I loue them that loue me, and those that seeke me early, shall find me.
8:18Riches and honour are with me, yea durable riches and righteousnesse.
8:19My fruite is better then gold, yea then fine gold, and my reuenue then choise siluer.
8:20I leade in the way of righteousnesse, in the midst of the pathes of iudgment.
8:21That I may cause those that loue me, to inherite substance: and I will fill their treasures.
8:22The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
8:23I was set vp from euerlasting, from the beginning, or euer the earth was.
8:24When there were no depthes, I was brought forth: when there were no fountaines abounding with water.
8:25Before the mountaines were setled: before the hilles, was I brought foorth:
8:26While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
8:27When hee prepared the heauens, I was there: when he set a compasse vpon the face of the depth.
8:28When he established the cloudes aboue: when he strengthned the fountaines of the deepe.
8:29When he gaue to the sea his decree, that the waters should not passe his commandement: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
8:30Then I was by him, as one brought vp with him: and I was daily his delight, reioycing alwayes before him:
8:31Reioycing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights were with the sonnes of men.
8:32Nowe therefore hearken vnto me, O yee children: for blessed are they that keepe my wayes.
8:33Heare instruction, and bee wise, and refuse it not.
8:34Blessed is the man that heareth me: watching daily at my gates, waiting at the postes of my doores.
8:35For whoso findeth mee, findeth life, and shall obtaine fauour of the Lord.
8:36But hee that sinneth against me, wrongeth his owne soule; all they that hate me, loue death.

 

8:1Doth not wysdome crye? doth not vnderstanding put foorth her voyce
8:2She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the place of the pathes
8:3She cryeth at the gates of the citie, at the entrye of the doores
8:4It is you O ye men saith she whom I call, vnto the chyldren of men do I lyft vp my voyce
8:5Take heede vnto knowledge O ye ignoraunt, be ye wise in heart O ye fooles
8:6Geue eare, for I wyll speake of great matters, and open my lippes to tell thinges that be right
8:7For my mouth shall be talking of the trueth, and my lippes abhorre vngodlynesse
8:8All the wordes of my mouth are righteous, there is no frowardnes nor falsehood in them
8:9They are all playne to suche as wyll vnderstande, and right to them that finde knowledge
8:10Receaue my doctrine and not siluer, and knowledge rather then fine golde
8:11For wysdome is more worth then pretious stones, yea all thinges that thou canst desire, may not be compared vnto it
8:12I wysdome dwell with counsell, and finde out knowledge and vnderstanding
8:13The feare of the Lorde abhorreth wickednes, pryde, disdayne, and the euil way, and a mouth that speaketh wicked thinges I vtterly abhorre
8:14Counsell is mine, and direction, I am vnderstanding, and I haue strength
8:15Through me kinges raigne, and princes make iust lawes
8:16By me princes beare rule, and noble men do iudge the earth
8:17I am louing vnto those that loue me: and they that seeke me early, shall finde me
8:18Riches and honour are with me, yea durable riches and righteousnes
8:19My fruite is better then golde and pretious stones, and mine encrease more worth then fine siluer
8:20I wyll guyde thee in the way of righteousnes, and in the midst of the pathes of iudgement
8:21That I maye stablishe the inhetaunce of them that loue me, and encrease their treasure
8:22The Lorde him selfe had me in possession in the beginning of his wayes, or euer he began his workes aforetime
8:23I haue ben ordayned from euerlasting, and from the beginning or euer the earth was made
8:24When I was borne there were neither depthes nor springes of water
8:25Before the foundations of the mountaines were layde: yea before all hilles, was I borne
8:26The earth, and all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the dust it selfe
8:27For when he made the heauens, I was present, when he compassed the deapthes about
8:28When he hanged the cloudes aboue, when he fastened the springes of the deepe
8:29When he shut the sea within certaine boundes, that the waters should not go ouer their markes that he commaunded: when he layde the foundations of the earth
8:30I was with him ordring all thinges, deliting dayly and reioysyng alway before hym
8:31As for the rounde compasse of this worlde I make it ioyfull: for my delite is to be among the chyldren of men
8:32Therefore hearken vnto me: O ye chyldren, blessed are they that kepe my wayes
8:33O geue eare vnto nurture, be wyse, and refuse it not
8:34Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching dayly at my gates, and geuing attendaunce at the postes of my doores
8:35For whoso findeth me, findeth life, and shall obtaine fauour of the Lorde
8:36But whoso offendeth against me, hurteth his owne soule: and they that hate me, are the louers of death

 

8:1Doth not wisedome crie? and vnderstanding vtter her voyce?
8:2She standeth in the top of the high places by the way in the place of the paths.
8:3She cryeth besides the gates before the citie at the entrie of the doores,
8:4O men, I call vnto you, and vtter my voyce to the children of men.
8:5O ye foolish men, vnderstand wisedome, and ye, O fooles, be wise in heart.
8:6Giue eare, for I will speake of excellent things, and the opening of my lippes, shall teache things that be right.
8:7For my mouth shall speake the trueth, and my lippes abhorre wickednesse.
8:8All the wordes of my mouth are righteous: there is no lewdenes, nor frowardnesse in them.
8:9They are all plaine to him that will vnderstande, and streight to them that woulde finde knowledge.
8:10Receiue mine instruction, and not siluer, and knowledge rather then fine golde.
8:11For wisdome is better then precious stones: and all pleasures are not to be compared vnto her.
8:12I wisdome dwell with prudence, and I find foorth knowledge and counsels.
8:13The feare of the Lord is to hate euill as pride, and arrogancie, and the euill way: and a mouth that speaketh lewde things, I doe hate.
8:14I haue counsell and wisedome: I am vnderstanding, and I haue strength.
8:15By me, Kings reigne, and princes decree iustice.
8:16By me princes rule and the nobles, and all the iudges of the earth.
8:17I loue them that loue me: and they that seeke me earely, shall finde me.
8:18Riches and honour are with me: euen durable riches and righteousnesse.
8:19My fruite is better then golde, euen then fine golde, and my reuenues better then fine siluer.
8:20I cause to walke in the way of righteousnes, and in the middes of the paths of iudgement,
8:21That I may cause them that loue me, to inherite substance, and I will fill their treasures.
8:22The Lord hath possessed me in the beginning of his way: I was before his workes of olde.
8:23I was set vp from euerlasting, from the beginning and before the earth.
8:24When there were no depths, was I begotten, when there were no fountaines abounding with water.
8:25Before the mountaines were setled: and before the hilles, was I begotten.
8:26He had not yet made the earth, nor the open places, nor the height of the dust in the worlde.
8:27When hee prepared the heauens, I was there, when he set the compasse vpon the deepe.
8:28When he established the cloudes aboue, when he confirmed the fountaines of the deepe,
8:29When he gaue his decree to the Sea, that the waters shoulde not passe his commandement: when he appointed the foundations of the earth,
8:30Then was I with him as a nourisher, and I was dayly his delight reioycing alway before him,
8:31And tooke my solace in the compasse of his earth: and my delite is with the children of men.
8:32Therefore nowe hearken, O children, vnto me: for blessed are they that keepe my wayes.
8:33Heare instruction, and be ye wise, and refuse it not: blessed is the man that heareth mee, watching dayly at my gates, and giuing attendance at the postes of my doores.
8:34For he that findeth me, findeth life, and shall obteine fauour of the Lord.
8:35But he that sinneth against me, hurteth his owne soule: and all that hate me, loue death.
8:36n/a
