(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
1
Doth not wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice?
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
2
In the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she standeth;
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
3
Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
4
Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of men.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
5
O ye simple, understand subtilty; and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
6
Hear, for I will speak excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
7
For my mouth shall utter truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
8
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
9
They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
10
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
11
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto her.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
12
I wisdom have made subtilty my dwelling, and find out knowledge and discretion.
(ERV)
Proverbs
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.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
14
Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge: I am understanding; I have might.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
16
By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
17
I love them that love me; and those that seek me diligently shall find me.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
18
Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
19
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
20
I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
21
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and that I may fill their treasuries.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
22
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
23
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
24
When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
25
Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
26
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
27
When he established the heavens, I was there: when he set a circle upon the face of the deep:
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
28
When he made firm the sides above: when the fountains of the deep became strong:
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
29
When he gave to the sea its bound, that the waters should not transgress his commandment: when he marked out the foundations of the earth:
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
30
Then I was by him, as a master workman: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
31
Rejoicing in his habitable earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
32
Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
33
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
34
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
35
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
(ERV)
Proverbs
8
:
36
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
