1<\/strong> Doth not wisdom cry, And understanding put forth her voice?<\/p>\n

2<\/strong> On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she standeth;<\/p>\n

3<\/strong> Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:<\/p>\n

4<\/strong> Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men.<\/p>\n

5<\/strong> O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong> Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.<\/p>\n

7<\/strong> For my mouth shall utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.<\/p>\n

8<\/strong> All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.<\/p>\n

9<\/strong> They are all plain to him that understandeth, And right to them that find knowledge.<\/p>\n

10<\/strong> Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.<\/p>\n

11<\/strong> For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.<\/p>\n

12<\/strong> I wisdom have made prudence my dwelling, And find out knowledge [and] discretion.<\/p>\n

13<\/strong> The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate.<\/p>\n

14<\/strong> Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge: I am understanding; I have might.<\/p>\n

15<\/strong> By me kings reign, And princes decree justice.<\/p>\n

16<\/strong> By me princes rule, And nobles, [even] all the judges of the earth.<\/p>\n

17<\/strong> I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me.<\/p>\n

18<\/strong> Riches and honor are with me; [Yea], durable wealth and righteousness.<\/p>\n

19<\/strong> My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my revenue than choice silver.<\/p>\n

20<\/strong> I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;<\/p>\n

21<\/strong> That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.<\/p>\n

22<\/strong> Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.<\/p>\n

23<\/strong> I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.<\/p>\n

24<\/strong> When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.<\/p>\n

25<\/strong> Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth;<\/p>\n

26<\/strong> While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.<\/p>\n

27<\/strong> When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,<\/p>\n

28<\/strong> When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,<\/p>\n

29<\/strong> 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;<\/p>\n

30<\/strong> Then I was by him, [as] a master workman; And I was daily [his] delight, Rejoicing always before him,<\/p>\n

31<\/strong> Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men.<\/p>\n

32<\/strong> Now therefore, [my] sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.<\/p>\n

33<\/strong> Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not.<\/p>\n

34<\/strong> Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.<\/p>\n

35<\/strong> For whoso findeth me findeth life, And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.<\/p>\n

36<\/strong> But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"iawp_total_views":0},"tags":[171,170,173,206],"class_list":["post-22790","bible_chapter","type-bible_chapter","status-publish","hentry","tag-asv","tag-bible","tag-old-testament","tag-proverbs"],"yoast_head":"\nProverbs Chapter 8 - Easy To Understand<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read Proverbs Chapter 8 and share your prayer request.
