| Proverbs 8:1 | Doesn't wisdom cry out? Doesn't understanding raise her voice? | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:2 | On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she stands. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:3 | Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entry doors, she cries aloud: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:4 | "To you men, I call! I send my voice to the sons of mankind. | |||||||||||||||

| Proverbs 8:8 | All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:9 | They are all plain to him who understands, Right to those who find knowledge. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:10 | Receive my instruction rather than silver; Knowledge rather than choice gold. | |||||||||||||||

| Proverbs 8:22 | "Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, Before his deeds of old. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:23 | I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth existed. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:24 | When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:25 | Before the mountains were settled in place, Before the hills, I was brought forth; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:26 | While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:27 | When he established the heavens, I was there; When he set a circle on the surface of the deep, | |||||||||||||||

| Proverbs 8:29 | When he gave to the sea its boundary, That the waters should not violate his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:30 | Then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, Always rejoicing before him, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:31 | Rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:32 | "Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, For blessed are those who keep my ways. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:33 | Hear instruction, and be wise, Don't refuse it. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 8:34 | Blessed is the man who hears me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my door posts. | |||||||||||||||

| Proverbs 8:36 | But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death." | |||||||||||||||
