20_PRO_08_01 Doth not wisdom cry ? And understanding put forth her voice ?
20_PRO_08_02 she standeth in the top of high places , by the way in the places of the paths .
20_PRO_08_03 she crieth at the gates , at the entry of the city , at the coming in at the doors .
20_PRO_08_04 unto you , O men , I call ; And my voice [ Is ] to the sons of man .
20_PRO_08_05 O ye simple , understand wisdom : And , ye fools , be ye of an understanding heart .
20_PRO_08_06 hear ; for I will speak of excellent things ; And the opening of my lips [ shall be ] right things .
20_PRO_08_07 for my mouth shall speak truth ; And wickedness [ Is ] an abomination to my lips .
20_PRO_08_08 all the words of my mouth [ are ] in righteousness ; [ there Is ] nothing froward or perverse in them .
20_PRO_08_09 they [ are ] all plain to him that understandeth , And right to them that find knowledge .
20_PRO_08_10 receive my instruction , And not silver ; And knowledge rather than choice gold .
20_PRO_08_11 for wisdom [ Is ] Better than rubies ; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it .
20_PRO_08_12 I wisdom dwell with prudence , And find out knowledge of witty inventions .
20_PRO_08_13 the Fear of the LORD [ Is ] to hate evil : pride , And arrogancy , And the evil way , And the froward mouth , do I hate .
20_PRO_08_14 counsel [ Is ] mine , And sound wisdom : I [ am ] understanding ; I have strength .
20_PRO_08_15 by me kings reign , And princes decree justice .
20_PRO_08_16 by me princes rule , And nobles , [ even ] all the judges of the earth .
20_PRO_08_17 I love them that love me ; And those that seek me early shall find me .
20_PRO_08_18 riches And honour [ are ] with me ; [ yea ] , durable riches And righteousness .
20_PRO_08_19 my fruit [ Is ] Better than gold , yea , than fine gold ; And my revenue than choice silver .
20_PRO_08_20 I lead in the way of righteousness , in the midst of the paths of judgment :
20_PRO_08_21 that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance ; And I will fill their treasures .
20_PRO_08_22 the LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way , before his works of old .
20_PRO_08_23 I was set up from everlasting , from the beginning , or ever the earth was .
20_PRO_08_24 when [ there were ] no depths , I was brought forth ; when [ there were ] no fountains abounding with water .
20_PRO_08_25 before the mountains were settled , before the hills was I brought forth :
20_PRO_08_26 while as yet he had not made the earth , nor the fields , nor the highest part of the dust of the world .
20_PRO_08_27 when he prepared the heavens , I [ was ] there : when he set A compass upon the face of the depth :
20_PRO_08_28 when he established the clouds above : when he strengthened the fountains of the deep :
20_PRO_08_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 :
20_PRO_08_30 Then I was by him , [ as ] one brought up [ with him ] : And I was daily [ his ] delight , rejoicing always before him ;
20_PRO_08_31 rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth ; And my delights [ were ] with the sons of men .
20_PRO_08_32 now therefore hearken unto me , O ye children : for blessed [ are they that ] keep my ways .
20_PRO_08_33 hear instruction , And be wise , And refuse it not .
20_PRO_08_34 blessed [ Is ] the man that heareth me , watching daily at my gates , waiting at the posts of my doors .
20_PRO_08_35 for whoso findeth me findeth life , And shall obtain favour of the LORD .
20_PRO_08_36 but he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul : all they that hate me love death .
