1 Doth not H3808 I-NPAR wisdom H2451 NFS cry H7121 VQY3FS ? and understanding H8394 put forth H5414 VQY2MS her voice H6963 CMS-3FS ?
2 She standeth H5324 in the top H7218 B-NMS of high places H4791 , by H5921 PREP the way H1870 NMS in the places H1004 CMS of the paths H5410 CFP .
3 She crieth H7442 at H3027 the gates H8179 NMP , at the entry H6310 L-CMS of the city H7176 NFS , at the coming H3996 in at the doors H6607 .
4 Unto H413 PREP you , O men H376 , I call H7121 ; and my voice H6963 is to H413 PREP the sons H1121 of man H120 .
5 O ye simple H6612 NMP , understand H995 VHI2MP wisdom H6195 NFS : and , ye fools H3684 W-NMP , be ye of an understanding H995 VHI2MP heart H3820 NMS .
6 Hear H8085 VQI2MP ; for H3588 CONJ I will speak H1696 VPY1MS of excellent things H5057 NMP ; and the opening H4669 of my lips H8193 CFD-1MS shall be right things H4339 .
7 For H3588 CONJ my mouth H2441 CMS-1MS shall speak H1897 VQY3MS truth H571 CFS ; and wickedness H7562 NMS is an abomination H8441 to my lips H8193 CFD-1MS .
8 All H3605 NMS the words H561 CMP of my mouth H6310 CMS-1MS are in righteousness H6664 ; there is nothing H369 NPAR froward H6617 or perverse H6141 in them .
9 They are all H3605 CMS-3MP plain H5228 to him that understandeth H995 , and right H3477 to them that find H4672 knowledge H1847 NFS .
10 Receive H3947 VQI2MP my instruction H4148 , and not H408 W-NPAR silver H3701 NMS ; and knowledge H1847 W-VQFC rather than choice gold H977 .
11 For H3588 CONJ wisdom H2451 NFS is better H2896 NFS than rubies H6443 ; and all H3605 W-CMS the things that may be desired H2656 are not H3808 NADV to be compared H7737 to it .
12 I H589 PPRO-1MS wisdom H2451 NFS dwell H7931 with prudence H6195 NFS , and find out H4672 knowledge H1847 W-VQFC of witty inventions H4209 .
13 The fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 EDS is to hate H8130 evil H7451 AMS : pride H1344 , and arrogance H1347 , and the evil H7451 AMS way H1870 W-NMS , and the froward H8419 mouth H6310 W-CMS-1MS , do I hate H8130 .
14 Counsel H6098 NFS is mine , and sound wisdom H8454 W-NFS : I H589 PPRO-1MS am understanding H998 ; I have strength H1369 .
15 By me kings H4428 NMP reign H4427 , and princes H7336 W-VQPMP decree H2710 justice H6664 NMS .
16 By me princes H8269 NMP rule H8323 , and nobles H5081 , even all H3605 NMS the judges H8199 of the earth H776 .
17 I H589 PPRO-1MS love H157 them that love H157 me ; and those that seek me early H7836 shall find H4672 VQY3MP-3FP-1MS me .
18 Riches H6239 NMS and honor H3519 are with H854 PREP-1MS me ; yea , durable H6276 riches H1952 NMS and righteousness H6666 .
19 My fruit H6529 is better H2896 AMS than gold H2742 , yea , than fine gold H6337 ; and my revenue H8393 than choice H977 silver H3701 .
20 I lead H1980 in the way H734 of righteousness H6666 NFS , in the midst H8432 B-NMS of the paths H5410 CFP of judgment H4941 NMS :
21 That I may cause those that love H157 me to inherit H5157 substance H3426 PART ; and I will fill H4390 their treasures H214 .
22 The LORD H3068 possessed H7069 me in the beginning H7225 CFS of his way H1870 CMS-3MS , before H6924 NMS his works H4659 of old H227 .
23 I was set up H5258 from everlasting H5769 M-NMS , from the beginning H7218 , or ever H6924 the earth H776 GFS was .
24 When there were no H369 depths H8415 , I was brought forth H2342 ; when there were no H369 fountains H4599 abounding H3513 with water H4325 NMP .
25 Before H2962 B-ADV the mountains H2022 NMP were settled H2883 VOQ3MP , before H6440 L-CMP the hills H1389 NFP was I brought forth H2343 :
26 While as yet H5704 PREP he had not H3808 NADV made H6213 VQQ3MS the earth H776 GFS , nor the fields H2351 , nor the highest part H7218 of the dust H6083 of the world H8398 .
27 When he prepared H3559 the heavens H8064 NMP , I H589 PPRO-1MS was there H8033 ADV : when he set H2710 a compass H2329 upon H5921 PREP the face H6440 CMP of the depth H8415 :
28 When he established H553 the clouds H7834 NMP above H4605 M-ADV : when he strengthened H5810 the fountains H5869 of the deep H8415 NMS :
29 When he gave H7760 to the sea H3220 his decree H2706 , that the waters H4325 W-NMD should not H3808 NADV pass H5674 his commandment H6310 : when he appointed H2710 the foundations H4146 of the earth H776 GFS :
30 Then I was H1961 by H681 him , as one brought up H525 with him : and I was H1961 daily H3117 NMS his delight H8191 , rejoicing H7832 always H3605 B-CMS before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him ;
31 Rejoicing H7832 in the habitable part H8398 of his earth H776 ; and my delights H8191 were with H854 PREP the sons H1121 of men H120 .
32 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore hearken H8085 VQI2MP unto me , O ye children H1121 NMP : for blessed H835 are they that keep H8104 my ways H1870 NMP-1MS .
33 Hear H8085 VQI2MP instruction H4148 , and be wise H2449 , and refuse H6544 it not H408 W-NPAR .
34 Blessed H835 is the man H120 NMS that heareth H8085 VQPMS me , watching H8245 daily H3117 NMS at H5921 PREP my gates H1817 , waiting H8104 L-VQFC at the posts H4201 of my doors H6607 .
35 For H3588 CONJ whoso findeth H4672 VQPMS-1MS me findeth H4672 life H2416 NMP , and shall obtain H6329 favor H7522 of the LORD H3068 .
36 But he that sinneth against H2398 me wrongeth H2554 his own soul H5315 NMS-3MS : all H3605 NMS they that hate H8130 me love H157 death H4194 NMS .
