Doth not wisdom 2451 cry? 7121-4 and understanding 8394 put forth 5414-4 her voice? 6963 |
| 2 |
She standeth 5324-8 in the top 7218 of high places, 4791 by the way 1870 in the places 1004 of the paths. 5410 |
| 3 |
She crieth 7442-4 at 3027 the gates, 8179 at the entry 6310 of the city, 7176 at the coming in 3996 at the doors. 6607 |
| 4 |
Unto you, O men, 376 I call; 7121-4 and my voice 6963 [is] to the sons 1121 of man. 120 |
| 5 |
O ye simple, 6612 understand 995-54 wisdom: 6195 and, ye fools, 3684 be ye of an understanding 995-54 heart. 3820 |
| 6 |
Hear; 8085-3 for I will speak 1696-17 of excellent things; 5057 and the opening 4669 of my lips 8193 [shall be] right things. 4339 |
| 7 |
For my mouth 2441 shall speak 1897-4 truth; 571 and wickedness 7562 [is] an abomination 8441 to my lips. 8193 |
| 8 |
All the words 561 of my mouth 6310 [are] in righteousness; 6664 [there is] nothing froward 6617-12 or perverse 6141 in them. |
| 9 |
They [are] all plain 5228 to him that understandeth, 995-56 and right 3477 to them that find 4672-6 knowledge. 1847 |
| 10 |
Receive 3947-3 my instruction, 4148 and not silver; 3701 and knowledge 1847 rather than choice 977-12 gold. 2742 |
| 11 |
For wisdom 2451 [is] better 2896 than rubies; 6443 and all the things that may be desired 2656 are not to be compared 7737-4 to it. |
| 12 |
I wisdom 2451 dwell 7931-1 with prudence, 6195 and find out 4672-4 knowledge 1847 of witty inventions. 4209 |
| 13 |
The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 [is] to hate 8130-2 evil: 7451 pride, 1344 and arrogancy, 1347 and the evil 7451 way, 1870 and the froward 8419 mouth, 6310 do I hate. 8130-1 |
| 14 |
Counsel 6098 [is] mine, and sound wisdom: 8454 I [am] understanding; 998 I have strength. 1369 |
| 15 |
By me kings 4428 reign, 4427-4 and princes 7336-6 decree 2710-25 justice. 6664 |
| 16 |
By me princes 8269 rule, 8323-4 and nobles, 5081 [even] all the judges 8199-6 of the earth. 776 |
| 17 |
I love 157-4 them that love 157-6 me; and those that seek me early 7836-18 shall find 4672-4 me. |
| 18 |
Riches 6239 and honour 3519 [are] with me; [yea], durable 6276 riches 1952 and righteousness. 6666 |
| 19 |
My fruit 6529 [is] better 2896 than gold, 2742 yea, than fine gold; 6337 and my revenue 8393 than choice 977-12 silver. 3701 |
| 20 |
I lead 1980-17 in the way 734 of righteousness, 6666 in the midst 8432 of the paths 5410 of judgment: 4941 |
| 21 |
That I may cause those that love 157-6 me to inherit 5157-53 substance; 3426 and I will fill 4390-17 their treasures. 214 |
| 22 |
The LORD 3068 possessed 7069-1 me in the beginning 7225 of his way, 1870 before 6924 his works 4659 of old. |
| 23 |
I was set up 5258-8 from everlasting, 5769 from the beginning, 7218 or ever 6924 the earth 776 was. |
| 24 |
When [there were] no depths, 8415 I was brought forth; 2342-49 when [there were] no fountains 4599 abounding 3513-12 with water. 4325 |
| 25 |
Before the mountains 2022 were settled, 2883-90 before 6440 the hills 1389 was I brought forth: 2342-49 |
| 26 |
While as yet he had not made 6213-1 the earth, 776 nor the fields, 2351 nor the highest part 7218 of the dust 6083 of the world. 8398 |
| 27 |
When he prepared 3559-53 the heavens, 8064 I [was] there: when he set 2710-2 a compass 2329 upon the face 6440 of the depth: 8415 |
| 28 |
When he established 553-15 the clouds 7834 above: 4605 when he strengthened 5810-2 the fountains 5869 of the deep: 8415 |
| 29 |
When he gave 7760-2 to the sea 3220 his decree, 2706 that the waters 4325 should not pass 5674-4 his commandment: 6310 when he appointed 2710-2 the foundations 4144 of the earth: 776 |
| 30 |
Then I was by him, 681 [as] one brought up 525 [with him]: and I was daily 3117 3117 [his] delight, 8191 rejoicing 7832-18 always 6256 before 6440 him; |
| 31 |
Rejoicing 7832-18 in the habitable part 8398 of his earth; 776 and my delights 8191 [were] with the sons 1121 of men. 120 |
| 32 |
Now therefore hearken 8085-3 unto me, O ye children: 1121 for blessed 835 [are they that] keep 8104-4 my ways. 1870 |
| 33 |
Hear 8085-3 instruction, 4148 and be wise, 2449-3 and refuse 6544-4 it not. |
| 34 |
Blessed 835 [is] the man 120 that heareth 8085-6 me, watching 8245-2 daily 3117 3117 at my gates, 1817 waiting 8104-2 at the posts 4201 of my doors. 6607 |
| 35 |
For whoso findeth 4672-6 me findeth 4672-1|4672-6-k life, 2416 and shall obtain 6329-55 favour 7522 of the LORD. 3068 |
| 36 |
But he that sinneth 2398-6 against me wrongeth 2554-6 his own soul: 5315 all they that hate 8130-18 me love 157-1 death. 4194 |
