Proverbs - Chapter: 8


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