Proverbs - Chapter: 8


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.


8:1	Whether wisdom crieth not ofte; and prudence yyueth his vois?
8:2	In souereyneste and hiy coppis, aboue the weie, in the myddis of pathis,
8:3	and it stondith bisidis the yate of the citee, in thilke closyngis, and spekith, and seith, A!
8:4	ye men, Y crie ofte to you; and my vois is to the sones of men.
8:5	Litle children, vndirstonde ye wisdom; and ye vnwise men, `perseyue wisdom.
8:6	Here ye, for Y schal speke of grete thingis; and my lippis schulen be openyd, to preche riytful thingis.
8:7	My throte schal bithenke treuthe; and my lippis schulen curse a wickid man.
8:8	My wordis ben iust; no schrewid thing, nether weiward is in tho.
8:9	`My wordis ben riytful to hem that vndurstonden; and ben euene to hem that fynden kunnyng.
8:10	Take ye my chastisyng, and not money; chese ye teching more than tresour.
8:11	For wisdom is betere than alle richessis moost preciouse; and al desirable thing mai not be comparisound therto.
8:12	Y, wisdom, dwelle in counsel; and Y am among lernyd thouytis.
8:13	The drede of the Lord hatith yuel; Y curse boost, and pride, and a schrewid weie, and a double tungid mouth.
8:14	Counseil is myn, and equyte `is myn; prudence is myn, and strengthe `is myn.
8:15	Kyngis regnen bi me; and the makeris of lawis demen iust thingis bi me.
8:16	Princis comaunden bi me; and myyti men demen riytfulnesse bi me.
8:17	I loue hem that louen me; and thei that waken eerli to me, schulen fynde me.
8:18	With me ben rychessis, and glorie; souereyn richessis, and riytfulnesse.
8:19	My fruyt is betere than gold, and precyouse stoon; and my seedis ben betere than chosun siluer.
8:20	Y go in the weies of riytfulnesse, in the myddis of pathis of doom;
8:21	that Y make riche hem that louen me, and that Y fille her tresouris.
8:22	The Lord weldide me in the bigynnyng of hise weies; bifore that he made ony thing, at the bigynnyng.
8:23	Fro with out bigynnyng Y was ordeined; and fro elde tymes, bifor that the erthe was maad.
8:24	Depthis of watris weren not yit; and Y was conseyued thanne. The wellis of watris hadden not brokun out yit,
8:25	and hillis stoden not togidere yit bi sad heuynesse; bifor litil hillis Y was born.
8:26	Yit he hadde not maad erthe; and floodis, and the herris of the world.
8:27	Whanne he made redi heuenes, Y was present; whanne he cumpasside the depthis of watris bi certeyn lawe and cumpas.
8:28	Whanne he made stidfast the eir aboue; and weiede the wellis of watris.
8:29	Whanne he cumpasside to the see his marke; and settide lawe to watris, that tho schulden not passe her coostis. Whanne he peiside the foundementis of erthe;
8:30	Y was making alle thingis with him. And Y delitide bi alle daies, and pleiede bifore hym in al tyme,
8:31	and Y pleiede in the world; and my delices ben to be with the sones of men.
8:32	Now therfor, sones, here ye me; blessid ben thei that kepen my weies.
8:33	Here ye teching, and be ye wise men; and nile ye caste it awei.
8:34	Blessid is the man that herith me, and that wakith at my yatis al dai; and kepith at the postis of my dore.
8:35	He that fyndith me, schal fynde lijf; and schal drawe helthe of the Lord.
8:36	But he that synneth ayens me, schal hurte his soule; alle that haten me, louen deeth.


8:1	Doth not wysdome crie? doth not vnderstondinge put forth hir voyce?
8:2	Stondeth she not in the hye places in the stretes & wayes?
8:3	doth she not crie before the whole cite, & in the gates where men go out & in?
8:4	It is you, o ye men (sayeth she) whom I call. Unto you (o ye childre of me) lift I vp my voyce.
8:5	Take hede vnto knowlege o ye ignoraut, be wyse in herte o ye fooles.
8:6	Geue eare, for I wil speake of greate matters, & open my lippes to tell thinges that be right.
8:7	For my throte shal be talkynge of ye trueth, & my lippes abhorre vngodlynesse.
8:8	All the wordes of my mouth are rightuous, there is no frowardnesse ner falsede therin.
8:9	They are all playne to soch as wil vnderstode, & right to the that fynde knowlege.
8:10	Receaue my doctryne therfore and not syluer, & knowlege more then fyne golde.
8:11	For wysdome is more worth then precious stones, yee all the thinges that thou cast desyre, are not to be compared vnto it.
8:12	I wysdome haue my dwellynge wt knowlege, and prudent councell is myne owne.
8:13	With me is the feare of the LORDE, and ye eschuynge of euell. As for pryde, disdayne, an euell waye, & a mouth that speaketh wicked thiges, I vtterly abhorre the.
8:14	I can geue councell, and be a gyde: I haue vnderstondinge, I haue strength.
8:15	Thorow me, kynges reigne: thorow me, prices make iust lawes.
8:16	Thorow me, lordes beare rule, and all iudges of ye earth execute iudgmet.
8:17	I am louynge vnto those that loue me, and they that seke me early, shal fynde me.
8:18	Riches & honoure are wt me, yee excellent goodes & rightuousnes.
8:19	My frute is better the golde & precious stone, & myne encrease more worth then fyne syluer.
8:20	I walke in ye waye of rightuousnes, & in the strete of iudgment.
8:21	That I maye sende prosperite to those that loue me, & to encrease their treasure.
8:22	The LORDE himself had me in possessio in the begynnynge of his wayes, or euer he begame his workes aforetyme.
8:23	I haue bene ordened fro euerlastige, & fro ye beginnynge or euer the earth was made.
8:24	When I was borne, there were nether depthes ner springes of water.
8:25	Before the foundacions of ye mountaynes were layed, yee before all hilles was I borne.
8:26	The earth and all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it self.
8:27	For when he made the heauens, I was present: wha he set the depthes in ordre:
8:28	whan he hanged the cloudes aboue: whan he fastened the sprynges of the depe:
8:29	Whan he shutt the see within certayne bowndes, that ye waters shulde not go ouer their marckes. When he layed the foundacions of the earth,
8:30	I was with him, ordringe all thinges, delytinge daylie & reioysynge allwaye before him.
8:31	As for the roude copase of his worlde, I make it ioyfull, for my delyte is to be amoge the children of men.
8:32	Therfore harken vnto me (o ye children) for blessed are they that kepe my wayes.
8:33	O geue eare vnto nurtoure, be wyse, and refuse it not.
8:34	Blessed is ye man that heareth me, watchinge daylie at my gates, & geuynge attendaunce at the postes of my dores.
8:35	For who so fyndeth me, fyndeth life, and shal optayne fauoure of the LORDE.
8:36	But who so offendeth agaynst me, hurteth his owne soule. All they that hate me, are the louers of death.
