Proverbs 8
1 You shall proclaim wisdom, that understanding may be obedient to you.
¿ Not wisdom does she call out and understanding does she give forth? voice her.
2 For she is on lofty eminences, and stands in the midst of the ways.
At [the] top of [the] heights on [the] way between [the] pathways she stations herself.
3 For she sits by the gates of princes, and sings in the entrances, [saying],
To [the] side of [the] gates to [the] opening of [the] town [the] entrance of [the] doorways they cry aloud.
4 You, O men, I exhort; and utter my voice to the sons of men.
To you O people I call and voice my [is] to [the] children of humankind.
5 O you simple, understand subtlety, and you that are untaught, imbibe knowledge.
Understand O naive people prudence and O fools understand heart.
6 Listen to me; for I will speak solemn [truths]; and will produce right [sayings] from my lips.
Listen for princely things I will speak and [the] utterance of lips my [will be] uprightness.
7 For my throat shall meditate truth; and false lips are an abomination before me.
For truth it will utter palate my and [is] an abomination of lips my wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing in them wrong or perverse.
[are] Righteousness all [the] words of mouth my there not among them [is] a twisted [thing] and a distorted [thing].
9 They are all evident to those that understand, and right to those that find knowledge.
All of them [are] right to the discerning [person] and upright to [those who] find knowledge.
10 Receive instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than tried gold.
Take discipline my and may not [you take] silver and knowledge more than gold chosen.
11 For wisdom is better than precious stones; and no valuable substance is of equal worth with it.
For [is] good wisdom more than jewels and all pleasures not they compare with it.
12 I wisdom have lived [with] counsel and knowledge, and I have called upon understanding.
I wisdom I dwell prudence and knowledge of discretion I find.
13 The fear of the Lord hates unrighteousness, and insolence, and pride, and the ways of wicked men; and I hate the perverse ways of bad men.
[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 safety are mine; prudence is mine, and strength is mine.
[belong] to Me counsel and sound wisdom I [am] understanding [belongs] to me strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
By me kings they reign and rulers they enact righteousness.
16 By me nobles become great, and monarchs by me rule over the earth.
By me princes they rule and noble [people] all judges of (righteousness. *L(H)*)
17 I love those that love me; and they that seek me shall find [me].
I ([those who] love me *Q(K)*) I love and [those who] earnestly seek me they find me.
18 Wealth and glory belong to me; yes, abundant possessions and righteousness.
Wealth and honor [are] with me wealth enduring and righteousness.
19 [It is] better to have my fruit than [to have] gold and precious stones; and my produce is better 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 ways of righteousness, and [am] conversant with the paths of judgment;
In [the] path of righteousness I walk in [the] midst of [the] pathways of justice.
21 that I may divide substance to them that love me, and may fill their treasures with good things. If I declare to you the things that daily happen, I will remember [also] to recount the things of old.
To give as an inheritance [those who] love me - substance and treasuries their I fill.
22 The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.
Yahweh he created me [the] beginning of way his [the] beginning of works his from then.
23 He established me before time [was] in the beginning, before he made the earth:
From long ago I was installed from [the] beginning from [the] beginnings of [the] earth.
24 even before he made the depths; before the fountains of water came forth:
When there not [were] [the] deeps I was brought forth when there not [were] springs abounding of water.
25 before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, he begets me.
Before mountains they were planted before [the] hills I was brought forth.
26 The Lord made countries and uninhabited [tracks], and the highest inhabited parts 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 heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:
When established he [the] heavens [was] there I when marked out he a circle on [the] surface of [the] deep.
28 and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:
When made firm he [the] clouds above when became strong [the] springs of [the] deep.
29 decree. and when he strengthened 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 by him, suiting [myself to him], I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.
And I was beside him an artisan and I was delight day - day playing before him at every time.
31 For he rejoiced when he had completed the world, and rejoiced among the children of men.
Playing in [the] world of earth his and delight my [were] with [the] children of humankind.
32 Now then, [my] son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall listen to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;
And therefore O children listen to me and how blessed! [are those who] ways my they observe.
33 [Hear wisdom and be wise, and be not strangers to it. ]
Listen to correction and act wisely and may not you neglect [it].
34 watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my entrances.
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 For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, and [in them] is prepared favor from the Lord.
For [one who] finds me (he finds *Q(K)*) life and he obtained favor from Yahweh.
36 But they that sin against me act wickedly against their own souls: and they that hate me love death.
And [one who] misses me [is] doing wrong to self his all [those who] hate me they love death.
