Proverbs 8

Verses of Proverbs 8 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice?
2 - She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, Beside the way, where the paths meet.
3 - She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entrance of the doors:
4 - "To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men.
5 - O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart.
6 - Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from the opening of my lips will come right things;
7 - For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 - All the words of my mouth are with righteousness; Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.
9 - They are all plain to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge.
10 - Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 - For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
12 - "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge and discretion.
13 - The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.
14 - Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength.
15 - By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice.
16 - By me princes rule, and nobles, All the judges of the earth.
17 - I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.
18 - Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness.
19 - My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver.
20 - I traverse the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice,
21 - That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries.
22 - "The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.
23 - I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
24 - When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 - Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was brought forth;
26 - While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, Or the primal dust of the world.
27 - When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 - When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
29 - When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 - Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,
31 - Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men.
32 - "Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 - Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it.
34 - Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 - For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the LORD;
36 - But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death."
