Proverbs:8-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Doth not wisdom cry ?
and understanding put forth her voice ?
*
She standeth in the top of high places ,
by the way in the places of the paths .
*
She crieth at the gates sha #
ar #,
at the entry of the city ,
at the coming in at the doors .
*
Unto you ,
O men ,
I call ;
and my voice is to the sons of man .
*
O ye simple ,
understand wisdom :
and ,
ye fools ,
be ye of an understanding heart .
*
Hear ;
for I will speak of excellent things ;
and the opening of my lips shall be right things .
*
For my mouth shall speak truth ;
and wickedness is an abomination to my lips .
*
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness ;
there is nothing froward or perverse in them .
*
They are all plain to him that understandeth ,
and right to them that find knowledge da #
ath #.
*
Receive my instruction ,
and not silver ;
and knowledge rather than choice gold .
*
For wisdom is better than rubies ;
and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it .
*
I wisdom dwell with prudence ,
and find out knowledge of witty inventions .
*
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil :
pride ge #
ah #,
and arrogancy ga #
own #,
and the evil way ,
and the froward mouth ,
do I hate .
*
Counsel is mine ,
and sound wisdom :
I am understanding ;
I have strength .
*
By me kings reign ,
and princes decree justice .
*
By me princes rule ,
and nobles ,
even all the judges of the earth .
*
I love them that love me ;
and those that seek me early shall find me .
*
Riches and honour are with me ;
yea ,
durable riches and righteousness .
*
My fruit is better than gold ,
yea ,
than fine gold ;
and my revenue than choice silver .
*
I lead in the way of righteousness ,
in the midst of the paths of judgment :
*
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance ;
and I will fill their treasures .
*
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way ,
before his works of old .
*
I was set up from everlasting ,
from the beginning ro #
sh #,
or ever the earth was .
*
When there were no depths ,
I was brought forth ;
when there were no fountains abounding with water .
*
Before the mountains were settled ,
before the hills was I brought forth :
*
While as yet he had not made the earth ,
nor the fields ,
nor the highest part of the dust of the world .
*
When he prepared the heavens ,
I was there :
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth :
*
When he established the clouds above ma #
al #:
when he strengthened the fountains of the deep :
*
When he gave to the sea his decree ,
that the waters should not pass his commandment :
when he appointed the foundations of the earth :
*
Then I was by him ,
as one brought up with him :
and I was daily yowm #
his delight ,
rejoicing always before him ;
*
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth ;
and my delights were with the sons of men .
*
Now therefore hearken unto me ,
O ye children :
for blessed are they that keep my ways .
*
Hear instruction ,
and be wise ,
and refuse it not .
*
Blessed is the man that heareth me ,
watching daily yowm #
at my gates ,
waiting at the posts of my doors .
*
For whoso findeth me findeth (
8675 )
life ,
and shall obtain favour of the LORD .
*
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul :
all they that hate me love death .
*
Wisdom hath builded her house ,
she hath hewn out her seven pillars :
*
She hath killed her beasts ;
she hath mingled her wine ;
she hath also furnished her table .
*
She hath sent forth her maidens na #
arah #:
she crieth upon the highest places of the city ,
*
Whoso is simple ,
let him turn in hither :
as for him that wanteth understanding ,
she saith to him ,
*
Come ,
eat of my bread ,
and drink of the wine which I have mingled .
*
Forsake the foolish ,
and live ;
and go in the way of understanding .
*
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame :
and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot m #
uwm #.
*
Reprove not a scorner ,
lest he hate thee :
rebuke a wise man ,
and he will love thee .
*
Give instruction to a wise man ,
and he will be yet wiser :
teach a just man ,
and he will increase in learning .
*
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom :
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding .
*
For by me thy days shall be multiplied ,
and the years of thy life shall be increased .
*
If thou be wise ,
thou shalt be wise for thyself :
but if thou scornest ,
thou alone shalt bear it .
*
A foolish woman is clamorous :
she is simple ,
and knoweth nothing .
*
For she sitteth at the door of her house ,
on a seat in the high places of the city ,
*
To call passengers #
who go right on their ways :
*
Whoso is simple ,
let him turn in hither :
and as for him that wanteth understanding ,
she saith to him ,
*
Stolen waters are sweet ,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant .
*
But he knoweth not that the dead are there ;
and that her guests are in the depths of hell sh @#

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son :
but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame .

but love covereth all sins .
*
In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found :
but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding .
*
Wise men lay up knowledge da #
ath #:
but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction .
*
The rich mans wealth is his strong city :
the destruction of the poor is their poverty .
*
The labour of the righteous tendeth to life :
the fruit of the wicked to sin chatta #

*
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction :
but he that refuseth reproof erreth .
*
He that hideth hatred with lying lips ,
and he that uttereth a slander ,
is a fool .
*
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin :
but he that refraineth his lips is wise .
*
The tongue of the just is as choice silver :
the heart of the wicked is little worth m @#

The lips of the righteous feed many :
but fools die for want of wisdom .
*
The blessing of the LORD ,

and he addeth no sorrow with it .
*
It is as sport to a fool to do mischief :
but a man of understanding hath wisdom .
*
The fear of the wicked ,
it shall come upon him :
but the desire of the righteous shall be granted .
*
As the whirlwind passeth ,
so is the wicked no more :
but the righteous is an everlasting foundation .
*
As vinegar to the teeth ,
and as smoke to the eyes ,
so is the sluggard to them that send him .
*
The fear of the LORD prolongeth days :
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened .
*
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness :
but the expectation of the wicked shall perish .
*
The way of the LORD is strength to the upright :
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity .
*
The righteous shall never be removed :
but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth .
*
The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom :
but the froward tongue shall be cut out .
*
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable :
but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness .
*
A false balance is abomination to the LORD :
but a just weight is his delight .
*
When pride cometh ,
then cometh shame :
but with the lowly is wisdom .
*
The integrity of the upright shall guide them :
but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy (
8675 )
them .
*
Riches profit not in the day of wrath :
but righteousness delivereth from death .
*
The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way :
but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness rish #
ah #.
*
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them :
but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness .
*
When a wicked man dieth ,
his expectation shall perish :
and the hope of unjust men perisheth .
*
The righteous is delivered out of trouble ,
and the wicked cometh in his stead .
*
An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour :
but through knowledge shall the just be delivered .
*
When it goeth well with the righteous ,
the city rejoiceth :
and when the wicked perish ,
there is shouting .
*
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted :
but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked .
*
He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour :
but a man of understanding holdeth his peace .
*
A talebearer revealeth secrets :
but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter .
*
Where no counsel is ,
the people fall :
but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety t @

ah #.
*
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it :
and he that hateth suretiship is sure .
*
A gracious woman retaineth honour :
and strong men retain riches .
*
The merciful man doeth good to his own soul :
but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh sh @#

*
The wicked worketh a deceitful work p @#
ullah #:
but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward .
*
As righteousness tendeth to life :
so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death .
*
They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD :
but such as are upright in their way are his delight .
*
Though hand join in hand ,
the wicked shall not be unpunished :
but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered .
*
As a jewel of gold in a swines snout ,
so is a fair woman which is without discretion ta #

*
The desire of the righteous is only good :
but the expectation of the wicked is wrath .
*
There is that scattereth ,
and yet increaseth ;
and there is that withholdeth more than is meet ,
but it tendeth to poverty .
*
The liberal soul shall be made fat :
and he that watereth shall be watered also himself .
*
He that withholdeth corn ,
the people shall curse him :
but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it .
*
He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour :
but he that seeketh mischief ,
it shall come unto him .
*
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall :
but the righteous shall flourish as a branch .
*
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind :
and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart .
*
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life ;
and he that winneth souls is wise .
*
Behold ,
the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth :
much more the wicked and the sinner .
