Proverbs 8:14
Compare all
12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge and discretion.
13 aThe fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
bPride and arrogance and the evil way
And cthe perverse mouth I hate. 
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, aI have strength. 
15 aBy me kings reign,
And rulers decree justice. 
16 By me princes rule, and nobles,
All the judges of1 the earth. 
17 aI love those who love me,
And bthose who seek me diligently will find me. 
18 aRiches 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 I1 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 “Thea Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old. 
23 aI 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 aBefore the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth; 
26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the1 fields,
Or the1 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 aWhen He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When bHe marked out the foundations of the earth, 
30 aThen I was beside Him as1 a master craftsman;
bAnd I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him, 
31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And amy delight was with the sons of men. 
32 “Now therefore, listen to me, my children,
For ablessed are those who keep my ways. 
33 Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.
34 aBlessed 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 aobtains favor from the Lord; 
36 But he who sins against me awrongs his own soul;
All those who hate me love death.”
