1Doesn’t wisdom cry out ?
Doesn’t understanding raise her voice ?
2On the top of high places by the way ,
where the paths meet, she stands .
3Beside the gates , at the entry of the city ,
at the entry doors , she cries aloud :
4“I call to you men !
I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
5You simple , understand prudence !
You fools , be of an understanding heart !
6Hear , for I will speak excellent things .
The opening of my lips is for right things .
7For my mouth speaks truth.
Wickedness is an abomination to my lips .
8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness .
There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
9They are all plain to him who understands,
right to those who find knowledge .
10Receive my instruction rather than silver ,
knowledge rather than choice gold .
11For wisdom is better than rubies .
All the things that may be desired can ’t be compared to it .
12“I , wisdom , have made prudence my dwelling .
Find out knowledge and discretion .
13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil .
I hate pride , arrogance , the evil way , and the perverse mouth .
14Counsel and sound knowledge are mine.
I have understanding and power .
15By me kings reign ,
and princes decree justice .
16By me princes rule ,
nobles , and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
17I love those who love me .
Those who seek me diligently will find me .
18With me are riches , honour ,
enduring wealth , and prosperity.
19My fruit is better than gold , yes, than fine gold ,
my yield than choice silver .
20I walk in the way of righteousness ,
in the middle of the paths of justice ,
21that I may give wealth to those who love me.
I fill their treasuries.
22“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work,
before his deeds of old .
23I was set up from everlasting , from the beginning ,
before the earth existed.
24When there were no depths , I was born ,
when there were no springs abounding with water .
25Before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills , I was born ;
26while as yet he had not made the earth , nor the fields ,
nor the beginning of the dust of the world .
27When he established the heavens , I was there .
When he set a circle on the surface of the deep ,
28when he established the clouds above ,
when the springs of the deep became strong ,
29when he gave to the sea its boundary ,
that the waters should not violate his commandment ,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30then I was the craftsman by his side.
I was a delight day by day ,
always rejoicing before him ,
31rejoicing in his whole world .
My delight was with the sons of men .
32“Now therefore , my sons , listen to me ,
for blessed are those who keep my ways .
33Hear instruction , and be wise .
Don’t refuse it.
34Blessed is the man who hears me ,
watching daily at my gates ,
waiting at my door posts .
35For whoever finds me finds life ,
and will obtain favour from the LORD .
36But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul .
All those who hate me love death .”
