Proverbs

That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

8
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
8
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
8
By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
8
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
8
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
8
They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

8
For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
8
O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

8
She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
8
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
