Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 8
Doth not wisdom cry,
And understanding put forth her voice?Mat 11:19; 1Co 1:24
On the top of high places by the way,
Where the paths meet, she standeth;
Beside the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:
Unto you, O men, I call;
And my voice is to the sons of men.
O ye simple, understand prudence;
And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.Psa 92:6
Hear, for I will speak excellent things;
And the opening of my lips shall be right things.Mat 7:29
For my mouth shall utter truth;
And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.Jhn 8:46
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.Psa 12:6
They are all plain to him that understandeth,
And right to them that find knowledge.
Receive my instruction, and not silver;
And knowledge rather than choice gold.Job 28:15; Pro 3:14
For wisdom is better than rubies;
And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.Job 28:16
I wisdom have made prudence my dwelling,
And find out knowledge and discretion.Luk 11:49
The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil:
Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,
And the perverse mouth, do I hate.
Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge:
I am understanding; I have might.
By me kings reign,
And princes decree justice.Gen 49:10; Dan 2:21; Rom 13:1
By me princes rule,
And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
I love them that love me;
And those that seek me diligently shall find me.
Riches and honor are with me;
Yea, durable wealth and righteousness.Pro 3:16
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;
And my revenue than choice silver.Job 28:17
I walk in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice;
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance,
And that I may fill their treasuries.
Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way,
Before his works of old.Jhn 1:1
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
Before the earth was.
When there were no depths, I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills was I brought forth;Psa 90:2; Psa 110:3
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there:
When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,
When he made firm the skies above,
When the fountains of the deep became strong,Job 26:8; Job 36:29
When he gave to the sea its bound,
That the waters should not transgress his commandment,
When he marked out the foundations of the earth;Job 38:10
Then I was by him, as a master workman;
And I was daily his delight,
Rejoicing always before him,Jhn 5:20
Rejoicing in his habitable earth;
And my delight was with the sons of men.Jhn 1:10
Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me;
For blessed are they that keep my ways.Psa 119:1; Luk 11:28
Hear instruction, and be wise,
And refuse it not.
Blessed is the man that heareth me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.Mrk 3:20
For whoso findeth me findeth life,
And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:
All they that hate me love death.
