2 In the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she standeth;

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

3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:

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

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

9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right 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 silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.

21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and that I may fill their treasuries.

22 The LORD made me as the beginning of His way, the first of His works of old.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

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

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth;

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

26 While as yet He had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust 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 established the heavens, I was there; when He set a circle upon the face of the deep,

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

28 When He made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the deep showed their might,

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

29 When He gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not transgress His commandment, when He appointed 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 Then I was by Him, as a nursling; and I was daily all delight, playing always before Him,

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

31 Playing in His habitable earth, and my delights are with the sons of men.

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

32 Now therefore, ye children, hearken unto me; for happy 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.
