Proverbs 8 — GMV

8 Verse 1 Thou shalt proclaim wisdom, ^{Verse 2} For she is on lofty eminences, ^{Verse 3} For she sits by the gates of princes, ^{Verse 4} You, O men, I exhort; ^{Verse 5} O ye simple, understand subtlety, ^{Verse 6} Hearken to me; for I will speak solemn truths; ^{Verse 7} For my throat shall meditate truth; ^{Verse 8} All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; ^{Verse 9} They are all evident to those that understand, ^{Verse 10} Receive instruction, and not silver; ^{Verse 11} For wisdom is better than precious stones; ^{Verse 12} I wisdom have dwelt with counsel and knowledge, ^{Verse 13} The fear of the Lord hates unrighteousness, ^{Verse 14} Counsel and safety are mine: ^{Verse 15} By me kings reign, ^{Verse 16} By me nobles become great, ^{Verse 17} I love those that love me; ^{Verse 18} Wealth and glory belong to me; ^{Verse 19} It is better to have my fruit than to have gold and precious stones; ^{Verse 20} I walk in ways of righteousness, ^{Verse 21} That I may divide substance to them that love me, If I declare to you the things that daily happen, ^{Verse 22} The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works. ^{Verse 23} He established me before time was in the beginning, ^{Verse 24} even before he made the depths; ^{Verse 25} Before the mountains were settled, ^{Verse 26} The Lord made countries and uninhabited tracts, ^{Verse 27} When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; ^{Verse 28} And when he strengthened the clouds above; ^{Verse 29} And when he strengthened the foundations of the earth: ^{Verse 30} I was by him, suiting myself to him, ^{Verse 31} For he rejoiced when he had completed the world, ^{Verse 32} Now then, my son, hear me: ^{Verse 34} Watching daily at my doors, ^{Verse 35} For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, ^{Verse 36} But they that sin against me act wickedly against their own souls:
