Proverbs 8:1 - Prayer Tents

8Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?H2451H7121H8394H5414H6963 2At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;H5324H7218H4791H1870H1004H5410 3beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:H7442H3027H8179H6310H7176H3996H6607 4"To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all humankind.H376H7121H6963H1121H120 5You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.H6612H995H6195H3684H995H3820 6Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.H8085H1696H5057H4669H8193H4339 7My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.H2441H1897H571H7562H8441H8193 8All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.H561H6310H6664H6617H6141 9To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge.H5228H995H3477H4672H1847 10Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold,H3947H4148H3701H1847H977H2742 11for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.H2451H2896H6443H2656H7737 12"I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.H2451H7931H6195H4672H1847H4209 13To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.H3374H3068H8130H7451H1344H1347H7451H1870H8419H6310H8130 14Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power.H6098H8454H998H1369 15By me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just;H4428H4427H7336H2710H6664 16by me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth.H8269H8323H5081H8199H776 17I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.H157H157H7836H4672 18With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.H6239H3519H6276H1952H6666 19My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.H6529H2896H2742H6337H8393H977H3701 20I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,H1980H734H6666H8432H5410H4941 21bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full.H157H5157H3426H4390H214 22"The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, , before his deeds of old;H3068H7069H7225H1870H6924H4659 23I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.H5258H5769H7218H6924H776 24When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water;H8415H2342H4599H3513H4325 25before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,H2022H2883H6440H1389H2342 26before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth.H6213H776H2351H7218H6083H8398 27I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,H3559H8064H2710H2329H6440H8415 28when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,H553H7834H4605H5810H5869H8415 29when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.H7760H3220H2706H4325H5674H6310H2710H4144H776 30Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,H681H525H3117H3117H8191H7832H6256H6440 31rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in humankind.H7832H8398H776H8191H1121H120 32"Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.H8085H1121H835H8104H1870 33Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it.H8085H4148H2449H6544 34Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.H835H120H8085H8245H3117H3117H1817H8104H4201H6607 35For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD.H4672H4672H4672H2416H6329H7522H3068 36But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death."H2398H2554H5315H8130H157H4194
