8 Hindi ba umiiyak ang karunungan, at inilalabas ng unawa ang kaniyang tinig?
2 Sa taluktok ng mga mataas na dako sa tabi ng daan, sa mga salubungang landas, siya'y tumatayo;
3 Sa tabi ng mga pintuang-bayan sa pasukan ng bayan, sa pasukan sa mga pintuan siya'y humihiyaw ng malakas:
4 Sa inyo, Oh mga lalake, ako'y tumatawag; at ang aking tinig ay sa mga anak ng mga tao.
5 Oh kayong mga musmos, magsiunawa kayo ng katalinuhan; at, kayong mga mangmang, makaunawa kayo sa puso.
6 Kayo'y mangakinig, sapagka't magsasalita ako ng mga marilag na bagay; at ang buka ng aking mga labi ay magiging mga matuwid na bagay,
7 Sapagka't ang aking bibig ay sasambit ng katotohanan; at kasamaan ay karumaldumal sa aking mga labi.
8 Lahat ng mga salita ng aking bibig ay sa katuwiran; walang bagay na liko o suwail sa kanila.
9 Pawang malilinaw sa kaniya na nakakaunawa, at matuwid sa kanila na nangakakasumpong ng kaalaman.
10 Tanggapin mo ang aking turo at huwag pilak; at ang kaalaman na higit kay sa dalisay na ginto.
11 Sapagka't ang karunungan ay maigi kay sa mga rubi; at lahat ng mga bagay na mananasa ay hindi maitutulad sa kaniya.
12 Akong karunungan ay tumatahan sa kabaitan, at aking nasusumpungan ang kaalaman at gunita.
13 Ang pagkatakot sa Panginoon ay ipagtanim ang kasamaan; Kapalaluan, at kahambugan at masamang lakad, at ang masamang bibig ay aking ipinagtatanim.
14 Payo ay akin at magaling na kaalaman: ako'y kaunawaan; ako'y may kapangyarihan,
15 Sa pamamagitan ko ay naghahari ang mga hari, at nagpapasiya ng kaganapan ang mga pangulo.
16 Sa pamamagitan ko ay nagpupuno ang mga pangulo, at ang mga mahal na tao, sa makatuwid baga'y lahat ng mga hukom sa lupa.
17 Aking iniibig sila na nagsisiibig sa akin; at yaong nagsisihanap na masikap sa akin ay masusumpungan ako.
18 Mga kayamanan at karangalan ay nasa akin; Oo, lumalaging mga kayamanan at katuwiran.
19 Ang bunga ko ay maigi kay sa ginto, oo, kay sa dalisay na ginto; at ang pakinabang sa akin kay sa piling pilak.
20 Ako'y lumalakad sa daan ng katuwiran, sa gitna ng mga landas ng kahatulan:
21 Upang aking papagmanahin ng pag-aari yaong nagsisiibig sa akin, at upang aking mapuno ang kanilang ingatang-yaman.
22 Inari ako ng Panginoon sa pasimula ng kaniyang lakad, bago pinasimulan ang kaniyang mga gawa ng una.
23 Ako'y nalagay mula noong araw mula ng walang pasimula, bago nalikha ang lupa.
24 Ako'y nailabas ng wala pang mga kalaliman; nang wala pang mga bukal na sagana ng tubig.
25 Bago ang mga bundok ay nalagay, bago ang mga burol ay ako'y nailabas:
26 Samantalang hindi pa niya nililikha ang lupa, ni ang mga parang man, ni ang pasimula man ng alabok ng sanglibutan.
27 Nang kaniyang itatag ang langit nandoon ako: nang siya'y maglagay ng balantok sa balat ng kalaliman:
28 Nang kaniyang pagtibayin ang langit sa itaas: nang maging matibay ang mga bukal ng kalaliman:
29 Nang bigyan niya ang dagat ng kaniyang hangganan, upang huwag salangsangin ng tubig ang kaniyang utos: nang kaniyang iayos ang mga patibayan ng lupa:
30 Nasa siping nga niya ako na gaya ng matalinong manggagawa: at ako ang kaniyang ligaya sa araw-araw, na nagagalak na lagi sa harap niya;
31 Na nagagalak sa kaniyang tinatahanang lupa; at ang aking kaaliwan ay sa mga anak ng mga tao.
32 Ngayon nga, mga anak ko, dinggin ninyo ako: sapagka't mapalad ang nangagiingat ng aking mga daan.
33 Mangakinig kayo ng turo, at kayo'y magpakapantas, at huwag ninyong tanggihan.
34 Mapalad ang tao na nakikinig sa akin, na nagbabantay araw-araw sa aking mga pintuang-bayan, na naghihintay sa mga haligi ng aking mga pintuan.
35 Sapagka't sinomang nakakasumpong sa akin, ay nakakasumpong ng buhay. At magtatamo ng lingap ng Panginoon.
36 Nguni't siyang nagkakasala laban sa akin ay nagliligaw ng kaniyang sariling kaluluwa; silang lahat na nangagtatanim sa akin ay nagsisiibig ng kamatayan.

Wisdom’s Call
8 Does not wisdom call out?(A)
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 beside the gate leading into the city,
at the entrance, she cries aloud:(B)
4 “To you, O people, I call out;(C)
I raise my voice to all mankind.
5 You who are simple,(D) gain prudence;(E)
you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]
6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,(F)
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 upright to those who have found knowledge.
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,(G)
11 for wisdom is more precious(H) than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.(I)
12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.(J)
13 To fear the Lord(K) is to hate evil;(L)
I hate(M) pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.
14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have insight, I have power.(N)
15 By me kings reign
and rulers(O) issue decrees that are just;
16 by me princes govern,(P)
and nobles—all who rule on earth.[b]
17 I love those who love me,(Q)
and those who seek me find me.(R)
18 With me are riches and honor,(S)
enduring wealth and prosperity.(T)
19 My fruit is better than fine gold;(U)
what I yield surpasses choice silver.(V)
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,(W)
along the paths of justice,
21 bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.(X)
22 “The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,[c][d]
before his deeds of old;
23 I was formed long ages ago,
at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;(Y)
25 before the mountains were settled in place,(Z)
before the hills, I was given birth,(AA)
26 before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.(AB)
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,(AC)
when he marked out the horizon(AD) on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above(AE)
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,(AF)
29 when he gave the sea its boundary(AG)
so the waters would not overstep his command,(AH)
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.(AI)
30 Then I was constantly[e] at his side.(AJ)
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.(AK)
32 “Now then, my children, listen(AL) to me;
blessed are(AM) those who keep my ways.(AN)
33 Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not disregard it.
34 Blessed are those who listen(AO) to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
35 For those who find me(AP) find life(AQ)
and receive favor from the Lord.(AR)
36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves;(AS)
all who hate me love death.”(AT)

Proverbs 8
King James Version
8 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward 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 to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
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 wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
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 early 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 lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
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 highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: 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.

The Commendation of Wisdom
8 Does not (A)wisdom call,
And understanding [a]lift up her voice?
2 On top of (B)the heights beside the way,
Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3 Beside the (C)gates, at the opening to the city,
At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:
4 “To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.
5 “O [b](D)naive ones, understand prudence;
And, O (E)fools, understand [c]wisdom.
6 “Listen, for I will speak (F)noble things;
And the opening of my lips will reveal (G)right things.
7 “For my (H)mouth will utter truth;
And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 “All the utterances of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing (I)crooked or perverted in them.
9 “They are all (J)straightforward to him who understands,
And right to those who (K)find knowledge.
10 “Take my (L)instruction and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choicest gold.
11 “For wisdom is (M)better than [d]jewels;
And (N)all desirable things cannot compare with her.
12 “I, wisdom, (O)dwell with prudence,
And I find (P)knowledge and discretion.
13 “The (Q)fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
(R)Pride and arrogance and (S)the evil way
And the (T)perverted mouth, I hate.
14 “(U)Counsel is mine and (V)sound wisdom;
I am understanding, (W)power is mine.
15 “By me (X)kings reign,
And rulers decree justice.
16 “By me princes rule, and nobles,
All who judge rightly.
17 “I (Y)love those who love me;
And (Z)those who diligently seek me will find me.
18 “(AA)Riches and honor are with me,
Enduring (AB)wealth and righteousness.
19 “My fruit is (AC)better than gold, even pure gold,
And my yield better than (AD)choicest silver.
20 “I walk in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice,
21 To endow those who love me with wealth,
That I may (AE)fill their treasuries.
22 “The Lord possessed me (AF)at the beginning of His way,
Before His works [e]of old.
23 “From everlasting I was [f](AG)established,
From the beginning, (AH)from the earliest times of the earth.
24 “When there were no (AI)depths I was [g]brought forth,
When there were no springs abounding with water.
25 “(AJ)Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills I was [h]brought forth;
26 While He had not yet made the earth and the [i]fields,
Nor the first dust of the world.
27 “When He (AK)established the heavens, I was there,
When (AL)He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
28 When He made firm the skies above,
When the springs of the deep became [j]fixed,
29 When (AM)He set for the sea its boundary
So that the water would not transgress His [k]command,
When He marked out (AN)the foundations of the earth;
30 Then (AO)I was beside Him, as a master workman;
And I was daily His delight,
[l]Rejoicing always before Him,
31 [m]Rejoicing in the world, His earth,
And having (AP)my delight in the sons of men.
32 “Now therefore, O sons, (AQ)listen to me,
For (AR)blessed are they who keep my ways.
33 “(AS)Heed instruction and be wise,
And do not neglect it.
34 “(AT)Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at my doorposts.
35 “For (AU)he who finds me finds life
And (AV)obtains favor from the Lord.
36 “But he who [n]sins against me (AW)injures himself;
All those who (AX)hate me (AY)love death.”
