Proverbs 8:16-36

By me princes
<08269>

rule
<08323> (8799)_,

and nobles
<05081>_,

[even] all the judges
<08199> (8802)

of the earth
<0776>_.

I love
<0157> (8799)

them that love
<0157> (8802)

me; and those that seek me early
<07836> (8764)

shall find
<04672> (8799)

me.

Riches
<06239>

and honour
<03519>

[are] with me; [yea], durable
<06276>

riches
<01952>

and righteousness
<06666>_.

My fruit
<06529>

[is] better
<02896>

than gold
<02742>_,

yea, than fine gold
<06337>_;

and my revenue
<08393>

than choice
<0977> (8737)

silver
<03701>_.

I lead
<01980> (8762)

in the way
<0734>

of righteousness
<06666>_,

in the midst
<08432>

of the paths
<05410>

of judgment
<04941>_:

{lead: or, walk}

That I may cause those that love
<0157> (8802)

me to inherit
<05157> (8687)

substance
<03426>_;

and I will fill
<04390> (8762)

their treasures
<0214>_.

The LORD
<03068>

possessed
<07069> (8804)

me in the beginning
<07225>

of his way
<01870>_,

before
<06924>

his works
<04659>

of old.

I was set up
<05258> (8738)

from everlasting
<05769>_,

from the beginning
<07218>_,

or ever
<06924>

the earth
<0776>

was.

When [there were] no depths
<08415>_,

I was brought forth
<02342> (8797)_;

when [there were] no fountains
<04599>

abounding
<03513> (8737)

with water
<04325>_.

Before the mountains
<02022>

were settled
<02883> (8717)_,

before
<06440>

the hills
<01389>

was I brought forth
<02342> (8797)_:

While as yet he had not made
<06213> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_,

nor the fields
<02351>_,

nor the highest part
<07218>

of the dust
<06083>

of the world
<08398>_.

{fields: or, open places} {the highest...: or, the chief part}

When he prepared
<03559> (8687)

the heavens
<08064>_,

I [was] there: when he set
<02710> (8800)

a compass
<02329>

upon the face
<06440>

of the depth
<08415>_:

{a compass: or, a circle}

When he established
<0553> (8763)

the clouds
<07834>

above
<04605>_:

when he strengthened
<05810> (8800)

the fountains
<05869>

of the deep
<08415>_:

When he gave
<07760> (8800)

to the sea
<03220>

his decree
<02706>_,

that the waters
<04325>

should not pass
<05674> (8799)

his commandment
<06310>_:

when he appointed
<02710> (8800)

the foundations
<04144>

of the earth
<0776>_:

Then I was by him
<0681>_,

[as] one brought up
<0525>

[with him]: and I was daily
<03117> <03117>

[his] delight
<08191>_,

rejoicing
<07832> (8764)

always
<06256>

before
<06440>

him;

Rejoicing
<07832> (8764)

in the habitable part
<08398>

of his earth
<0776>_;

and my delights
<08191>

[were] with the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_.

Now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me, O ye children
<01121>_:

for blessed
<0835>

[are they that] keep
<08104> (8799)

my ways
<01870>_.

Hear
<08085> (8798)

instruction
<04148>_,

and be wise
<02449> (8798)_,

and refuse
<06544> (8799)

it not.

Blessed
<0835>

[is] the man
<0120>

that heareth
<08085> (8802)

me, watching
<08245> (8800)

daily
<03117> <03117>

at my gates
<01817>_,

waiting
<08104> (8800)

at the posts
<04201>

of my doors
<06607>_.

For whoso findeth
<04672> (8802)

me findeth
<04672> (8804) (8675) <04672> (8802)

life
<02416>_,

and shall obtain
<06329> (8686)

favour
<07522>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{obtain: Heb. bring forth}

But he that sinneth
<02398> (8802)

against me wrongeth
<02554> (8802)

his own soul
<05315>_:

all they that hate
<08130> (8764)

me love
<0157> (8804)

death
<04194>_.
