| The Douay-Rheims Version Online Bible (DRV) | ||||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:1 | Doth not wisdom cry aloud, and prudence put forth her voice ? | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:2 | Standing in the top of the highest places by the way, in the midst of the paths. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:3 | Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:4 | O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:5 | O little ones, understand subtilty, and ye unwise, take notice. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:6 | Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:7 | My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:8 | All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:9 | They are right to them that understand, and just to them that find knowledge. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:10 | Receive my instruction, and not money: choose knowledge rather than gold. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:11 | 11For wisdom is better than all the most precious things: and whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:12 | I wisdom dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:13 | The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:14 | Counsel and equity is mine, prudence is mine, strength is mine. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:15 | By me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:16 | By me princes rule, and the mighty decree justice. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:17 | I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:18 | With me are riches and glory, glorious riches and justice. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:19 | For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:20 | I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:21 | That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:22 | The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:23 | I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:24 | The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived. neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:25 | The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:26 | He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:27 | When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:28 | When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:29 | When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when be balanced the foundations of the earth; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:30 | I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:31 | Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:32 | Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:33 | Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:34 | Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:35 | He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:36 | But he that shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All that hate me love death. | |||||||||||||||
