Proverbs 8:1-16
1Does notH3808 wisdomH2451 call outH7121, and understandingH8394 raiseH5414 her voiceH6963?2On the heightsH7218H4791 overlookingH5921 the roadH1870, at the crossroadsH1004H5410 she takes her standH5324.3BesideH3027 the gatesH8179 toH6310 the cityH7176, at the entrancesH3996H6607 she cries outH7442:
4“To youH413, O menH376, I call outH7121,and my cryH6963 is toH413 the sonsH1121 of menH120.5O simple onesH6612, learnH995 to be shrewdH6195;O foolsH3684, gain understandingH995H3820.16ListenH8085, forH3588 I speakH1696 of noble thingsH5057,and the openingH4669 of my lipsH8193 will reveal rightH4339.
7ForH3588 my mouthH2441 will speakH1897 the truthH571,and wickednessH7562 is detestableH8441 to my lipsH8193.8AllH3605 the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310 are righteousH6664;noneH369 are crookedH6617 or perverseH6141.9TheyH3605 are all plainH5228 to the discerningH995,and uprightH3477 to those who findH4672 knowledgeH1847.10ReceiveH3947 my instructionH4148 instead ofH408 silverH3701,and knowledgeH1847 rather than pureH977 goldH2742.11ForH3588 wisdomH2451 is more preciousH2896 than rubiesH6443,and nothingH3605H3808 you desireH2656 comparesH7737 with her.
12IH589, wisdomH2451, dwell togetherH7931 with prudenceH6195,and I findH4672 knowledgeH1847 and discretionH4209.13To fearH3374 the LORDH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451;I hateH8130 arrogantH1347 prideH1344, evilH7451 conductH1870, and perverseH8419 speechH6310.14CounselH6098 and sound judgmentH8454 are mine;IH589 have insightH998 and strengthH1369.15By me kingsH4428 reignH4427,and rulersH7336 enact justH6664 lawsH2710;16By me princesH8269 ruleH8323,and allH3605 noblesH5081 who governH8199 justlyH6664.2
