Proverbs 8

1 Doth not wisdom cry aloud, and prudence put forth her voice?

¿ Not wisdom does she call out and understanding does she give forth? voice her.

2 Standing in the top of the highest places by the way, in the midst of the paths.

At [the] top of [the] heights on [the] way between [the] pathways she stations herself.

3 Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying:

To [the] side of [the] gates to [the] opening of [the] town [the] entrance of [the] doorways they cry aloud.

4 O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.

To you O people I call and voice my [is] to [the] children of humankind.

5 O little ones, understand subtilty, and ye unwise, take notice.

Understand O naive people prudence and O fools understand heart.

6 Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things.

Listen for princely things I will speak and [the] utterance of lips my [will be] uprightness.

7 My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness.

For truth it will utter palate my and [is] an abomination of lips my wickedness.

8 All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.

[are] Righteousness all [the] words of mouth my there not among them [is] a twisted [thing] and a distorted [thing].

9 They are right to them that understand, and just to them that find knowledge.

All of them [are] right to the discerning [person] and upright to [those who] find knowledge.

10 Receive my instruction, and not money: choose knowledge rather than gold.

Take discipline my and may not [you take] silver and knowledge more than gold chosen.

11 For wisdom is better than all the most precious things: and whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to it.

For [is] good wisdom more than jewels and all pleasures not they compare with it.

12 I wisdom dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts.

I wisdom I dwell prudence and knowledge of discretion I find.

13 The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.

[the] fear of Yahweh [is] to hate evil pride and arrogance - and a way evil and a mouth of perversities I hate.

14 Counsel and equity is mine, prudence is mine, strength is mine.

[belong] to Me counsel and sound wisdom I [am] understanding [belongs] to me strength.

15 By me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things,

By me kings they reign and rulers they enact righteousness.

16 By me princes rule, and the mighty decree justice.

By me princes they rule and noble [people] all judges of (righteousness. *L(H)*)

17 I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me.

I ([those who] love me *Q(K)*) I love and [those who] earnestly seek me they find me.

18 With me are riches and glory, glorious riches and justice.

Wealth and honor [are] with me wealth enduring and righteousness.

19 For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver.

[is] good Fruit my more than gold and more than pure gold and gain my more than silver chosen.

20 I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment,

In [the] path of righteousness I walk in [the] midst of [the] pathways of justice.

21 That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures.

To give as an inheritance [those who] love me - substance and treasuries their I fill.

22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning.

Yahweh he created me [the] beginning of way his [the] beginning of works his from then.

23 I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made.

From long ago I was installed from [the] beginning from [the] beginnings of [the] earth.

24 The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived. neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out:

When there not [were] [the] deeps I was brought forth when there not [were] springs abounding of water.

25 The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth:

Before mountains they were planted before [the] hills I was brought forth.

26 He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.

Until not he had made [the] earth and [the] open places and [the] first of [the] dusts of [the] world.

27 When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths:

When established he [the] heavens [was] there I when marked out he a circle on [the] surface of [the] deep.

28 When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:

When made firm he [the] clouds above when became strong [the] springs of [the] deep.

29 When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when be balanced the foundations of the earth;

When set he for the sea - limit its and [the] waters not they will transgress mouth his when marked out he [the] foundations of [the] earth.

30 I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times;

And I was beside him an artisan and I was delight day - day playing before him at every time.

31 Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.

Playing in [the] world of earth his and delight my [were] with [the] children of humankind.

32 Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways.

And therefore O children listen to me and how blessed! [are those who] ways my they observe.

33 Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.

Listen to correction and act wisely and may not you neglect [it].

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors.

How blessed! [is] a person [who] listens to me by keeping watch at doors my day - day by watching [the] doorposts of doorways my.

35 He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord:

For [one who] finds me (he finds *Q(K)*) life and he obtained favor from Yahweh.

36 But he that shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All that hate me love death.

And [one who] misses me [is] doing wrong to self his all [those who] hate me they love death.
