1 # Doth not wisdom <02451> cry <07121> (8799)? and understanding <08394> put forth <05414> (8799) her voice <06963>?
2 She standeth <05324> (8738) in the top <07218> of high places <04791>, by the way <01870> in the places <01004> of the paths <05410>.
3 She crieth <07442> (8799) at <03027> the gates <08179>, at the entry <06310> of the city <07176>, at the coming <03996> in at the doors <06607>.
4 Unto you, O men <0376>, I call <07121> (8799); and my voice <06963> is to the sons <01121> of man <0120>.
5 O ye simple <06612>, understand <0995> (8685) wisdom <06195>: and, ye fools <03684>, be ye of an understanding <0995> (8685) heart <03820>.
6 Hear <08085> (8798); for I will speak <01696> (8762) of excellent things <05057>; and the opening <04669> of my lips <08193> shall be right things <04339>.
7 For my mouth <02441> shall speak <01897> (8799) truth <0571>; and wickedness <07562> is an abomination <08441> to my lips <08193>.
8 All the words <0561> of my mouth <06310> are in righteousness <06664>; there is nothing froward <06617> (8737) or perverse <06141> in them.

9 They are all plain <05228> to him that understandeth <0995> (8688), and right <03477> to them that find <04672> (8802) knowledge <01847>.
10 Receive <03947> (8798) my instruction <04148>, and not silver <03701>; and knowledge <01847> rather than choice <0977> (8737) gold <02742>.
11 For wisdom <02451> is better <02896> than rubies <06443>; and all the things that may be desired <02656> are not to be compared <07737> (8799) to it.
12 # I wisdom <02451> dwell <07931> (8804) with prudence <06195>, and find out <04672> (8799) knowledge <01847> of witty inventions <04209>.
13 The fear <03374> of the LORD <03068> is to hate <08130> (8800) evil <07451>: pride <01344> , and arrogancy <01347>, and the evil <07451> way <01870>, and the froward <08419> mouth <06310>, do I hate <08130> (8804) .
14 Counsel <06098> is mine, and sound wisdom <08454>: I am understanding <0998>; I have strength <01369>.
15 By me kings <04428> reign <04427> (8799), and princes <07336> (8802) decree <02710> (8779) justice <06664>.
16 By me princes <08269> rule <08323> (8799), and nobles <05081>, even all the judges <08199> (8802) of the earth <0776>.
17 I love <0157> (8799) them that love <0157> (8802) me; and those that seek me early <07836> (8764) shall find <04672> (8799) me.
18 Riches <06239> and honour <03519> are with me; yea, durable <06276> riches <01952> and righteousness <06666>.

19 My fruit <06529> is better <02896> than gold <02742>, yea, than fine gold <06337>; and my revenue <08393> than choice <0977> (8737) silver <03701>.
20 I lead <01980> (8762) in the way <0734> of righteousness <06666>, in the midst <08432> of the paths <05410> of judgment <04941>:
21 That I may cause those that love <0157> (8802) me to inherit <05157> (8687) substance <03426>; and I will fill <04390> (8762) their treasures <0214>.
22 # The LORD <03068> possessed <07069> (8804) me in the beginning <07225> of his way <01870>, before <06924> his works <04659> of old.
23 I was set up <05258> (8738) from everlasting <05769>, from the beginning <07218>, or ever <06924> the earth <0776> was.
24 When there were no depths <08415>, I was brought forth <02342> (8797); when there were no fountains <04599> abounding <03513> (8737) with water <04325>.
25 Before the mountains <02022> were settled <02883> (8717), before <06440> the hills <01389> was I brought forth <02342> (8797):
26 While as yet he had not made <06213> (8804) the earth <0776>, nor the fields <02351>, nor the highest part <07218> of the dust <06083> of the world <08398>.
27 When he prepared <03559> (8687) the heavens <08064>, I was there: when he set <02710> (8800) a compass <02329> upon the face <06440> of the depth <08415>:
28 When he established <0553> (8763) the clouds <07834> above <04605>: when he strengthened <05810> (8800) the fountains <05869> of the deep <08415>:
29 When he gave <07760> (8800) to the sea <03220> his decree <02706>, that the waters <04325> should not pass <05674> (8799) his commandment <06310>: when he appointed <02710> (8800) the foundations <04144> of the earth <0776> :
30 Then I was by him <0681>, as one brought up <0525> with him: and I was daily <03117> <03117> his delight <08191>, rejoicing <07832> (8764) always <06256> before <06440> him;
31 Rejoicing <07832> (8764) in the habitable part <08398> of his earth <0776>; and my delights <08191> were with the sons <01121> of men <0120>.
32 # Now therefore hearken <08085> (8798) unto me, O ye children <01121>: for blessed <0835> are they that keep <08104> (8799) my ways <01870>.
33 Hear <08085> (8798) instruction <04148>, and be wise <02449> (8798), and refuse <06544> (8799) it not.
34 Blessed <0835> is the man <0120> that heareth <08085> (8802) me, watching <08245> (8800) daily <03117> <03117> at my gates <01817>, waiting <08104> (8800) at the posts <04201> of my doors <06607>.

35 For whoso findeth <04672> (8802) me findeth <04672> (8804) (8675) <04672> (8802) life <02416>, and shall obtain <06329> (8686) favour <07522> of the LORD <03068>.
36 But he that sinneth <02398> (8802) against me wrongeth <02554> (8802) his own soul <05315>: all they that hate <08130> (8764) me love <0157> (8804) death <04194>.
