1
Does not wisdom
call,
And understanding
lift
up her voice?
2
On top
of the heights
beside
the way,
Where
the paths
meet,
she takes her stand;
3
Beside
the gates,
at the opening
to the city,
At the entrance
of the doors,
she cries
out:
4
"To you, O men,
I call,
And my voice
is to the sons
of men.
5
"O naive ones,
understand
prudence;
And, O fools,
understand
wisdom.
6
"Listen,
for I will speak
noble things;
And the opening
of my lips
will reveal right things.
7
"For my mouth
will utter
truth;
And wickedness
is an abomination
to my lips.
8
"All
the utterances
of my mouth
are in righteousness;
There is nothing
crooked
or perverted
in them.
9
"They are all
straightforward
to him who understands,
And right
to those who find
knowledge.
10
"Take
my instruction
and not silver,
And knowledge
rather than
choicest
gold.
11
"For wisdom
is better
than
jewels;
And all
desirable things
cannot
compare
with her.
12
"I, wisdom,
dwell
with prudence,
And I find
knowledge
and discretion.
13
"The fear
of the LORD
is to hate
evil;
Pride and arrogance
and the evil
way
And the perverted
mouth,
I hate.
14
"Counsel
is mine and sound wisdom;
I am understanding,
power
is mine.
15
"By me kings
reign,
And rulers
decree
justice.
16
"By me princes
rule,
and nobles,
All
who judge
rightly.
17
"I love
those who love
me; And those who diligently seek
me will find
me.
18
"Riches
and honor
are with me, Enduring
wealth
and righteousness.
19
"My fruit
is
better
than
gold,
even pure
gold,
And my yield
better
than
choicest
silver.
20
"I walk
in the way
of righteousness,
In the midst
of the paths
of justice,
21
To endow
those who love
me with wealth,
That I may fill
their treasuries.
22
"The LORD
possessed
me at the beginning
of His way,
Before
His works
of old.
23
"From everlasting
I was established,
From the beginning,
from the earliest times
of the earth.
24
"
When there
were no
depths
I was brought forth,
When there
were no
springs
abounding
with water.
25
"
Before
the mountains
were settled,
Before
the hills
I was brought forth;
26
While
He had not yet made
the earth
and the fields,
Nor
the first
dust
of the world.
27
"When He established
the heavens,
I was there,
When He inscribed
a circle
on the face
of the deep,
28
When He made firm
the skies
above,
When the springs
of the deep
became fixed,
29
When He set
for the sea
its boundary
So that the water
would not transgress
His command,
When He marked
out the foundations
of the earth;
30
Then I was beside
Him,
as a master workman;
And I was daily
His delight,
Rejoicing
always
before
Him,
31
Rejoicing
in the world,
His earth,
And having my delight
in the sons
of men.
32
"Now
therefore, O sons,
listen
to me, For blessed
are they who keep
my ways.
33
"Heed
instruction
and be wise,
And do not neglect
it.
34
"Blessed
is the man
who listens
to me, Watching
daily
at my gates,
Waiting
at my doorposts.
35
"For he who finds
me finds
life
And obtains
favor
from the LORD.
36
"But he who sins
against me injures
himself;
All
those who hate
me love
death."
