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

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 - On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 - beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud:
4 - "To you, O men, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 - You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding.
6 - Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 - My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.
8 - All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.
9 - To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge.
10 - Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 - for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.
12 - "I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.
13 - To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 - Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have understanding and power.
15 - By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just;
16 - by me princes govern, and all nobles who rule on earth.
17 - I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.
18 - With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
19 - My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.
20 - I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,
21 - bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.
22 - "The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,, before his deeds of old;
23 - I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began.
24 - When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water;
25 - before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,
26 - before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world.
27 - I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28 - when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29 - when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 - Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,
31 - rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.
32 - "Now then, my sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 - Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.
34 - Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
35 - For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.
36 - But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death."
