¹ Doth not wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice?

² In the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she standeth;

³ Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:

⁴ Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of men

⁵ O ye simple, understand subtilty; and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart

⁶ Hear, for I will speak excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things

⁷ For my mouth shall utter truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips

⁸ All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing crooked or perverse in them

⁹ They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that 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 that may be desired are not to be compared unto her

¹² I wisdom have made subtilty my dwelling, and find out knowledge and discretion

¹³ The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate

¹⁴ Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge: I am understanding; I have might.

¹⁵ By me kings reign, and princes decree justice

¹⁶ By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth

¹⁷ I love them that love me; and those that seek me diligently shall find me

¹⁸ Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness

¹⁹ My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver

²⁰ I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgement:

²¹ That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and that I may fill their treasuries

²² The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old

²³ I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was

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 was I brought forth:

²⁶ While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world

²⁷ When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep:

²⁸ When he made firm the sides above: When the fountains of the deep became strong:

²⁹ When he gave to the sea its bound, that the waters should not transgress his commandment: When he marked out the foundations of the earth:

³⁰ Then I was by him, as a master workman: And I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

³¹ Rejoicing in his habitable earth; and my delight was with the sons of men

³² Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me: For blessed are they that keep my ways

³³ Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not

³⁴ Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors

³⁵ For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD

³⁶ But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.
