Proverbs 8 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Pro 8:1

Pro 8:1Doesn't wisdom cry out? Doesn't understanding raise her voice?

Pro 8:2

Pro 8:2On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she stands.

Pro 8:3

Pro 8:3Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entry doors, she cries aloud:

Pro 8:4

Pro 8:4"To you men, I call! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.

Pro 8:5

Pro 8:5You simple, understand prudence. You fools, be of an understanding heart.

Pro 8:6

Pro 8:6Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.

Pro 8:7

Pro 8:7For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

Pro 8:8

Pro 8:8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

Pro 8:9

Pro 8:9They are all plain to him who understands, Right to those who find knowledge.

Pro 8:10

Pro 8:10Receive my instruction rather than silver; Knowledge rather than choice gold.

Pro 8:11

Pro 8:11For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can't be compared to it.

Pro 8:12

Pro 8:12"I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.

Pro 8:13

Pro 8:13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

Pro 8:14

Pro 8:14Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.

Pro 8:15

Pro 8:15By me kings reign, And princes decree justice.

Pro 8:16

Pro 8:16By me princes rule; Nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the eretz.

Pro 8:17

Pro 8:17I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.

Pro 8:18

Pro 8:18With me are riches, honor, Enduring wealth, and prosperity.

Pro 8:19

Pro 8:19My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold; My yield than choice silver.

Pro 8:20

Pro 8:20I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;

Pro 8:21

Pro 8:21That I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.

Pro 8:22

Pro 8:22"The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work, Before his deeds of old.

Pro 8:23

Pro 8:23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the eretz existed.

Pro 8:24

Pro 8:24When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.

Pro 8:25

Pro 8:25Before the mountains were settled in place, Before the hills, I was brought forth;

Pro 8:26

Pro 8:26While as yet he had not made the eretz, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

Pro 8:27

Pro 8:27When he established the heavens, I was there; When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,

Pro 8:28

Pro 8:28When he established the clouds above, When the springs of the deep became strong,

Pro 8:29

Pro 8:29When he gave to the sea its boundary, That the waters should not violate his mitzvah, When he marked out the foundations of the eretz;

Pro 8:30

Pro 8:30Then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, Always rejoicing before him,

Pro 8:31

Pro 8:31Rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.

Pro 8:32

Pro 8:32"Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, For blessed are those who keep my ways.

Pro 8:33

Pro 8:33Hear instruction, and be wise. Don't refuse it.

Pro 8:34

Pro 8:34Blessed is the man who hears me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my door posts.

Pro 8:35

Pro 8:35For whoever finds me, finds life, And will obtain favor from the LORD.

Pro 8:36

Pro 8:36But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death."
