Proverbs 8:1-11, 22-36

Does not wisdom call,

  and does not understanding raise her voice?

On the heights, beside the way,

  at the crossroads she takes her stand;

beside the gates in front of the town,

  at the entrance of the portals she cries out:

‘To you, O people, I call,

  and my cry is to all that live.

O simple ones, learn prudence;

  acquire intelligence, you who lack it.

Hear, for I will speak noble things,

  and from my lips will come what is right;

for my mouth will utter truth;

  wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

All the words of my mouth are righteous;

  there is nothing twisted or crooked in them.

They are all straight to one who understands

  and right to those who find knowledge.

Take my instruction instead of silver,

  and knowledge rather than choice gold;

for wisdom is better than jewels,

  and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.

(Wisdom says.....)

The Lord created me at the beginning of his work,

  the first of his acts of long ago.

Ages ago I was set up,

  at the first, before the beginning of the earth.

When there were no depths I was brought forth,

  when there were no springs abounding with water.

Before the mountains had been shaped,

  before the hills, I was brought forth—

when he had not yet made earth and fields,

  or the world’s first bits of soil.

When God established the heavens, I was there,

  when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,

when God made firm the skies above,

  when he established the fountains of the deep,

when God assigned to the sea its limit,

  so that the waters might not transgress his command,

when God marked out the foundations of the earth,

  then I was beside him, like a master worker;

and I was daily God's delight,

  rejoicing before him always,

rejoicing in his inhabited world

  and delighting in the human race.

‘And now, my children, listen to me:

  happy are those who keep my ways.

Hear instruction and be wise,

  and do not neglect it.

Happy is the one who listens to me,

  watching daily at my gates,

  waiting beside my doors.

For whoever finds me finds life

  and obtains favour from the Lord;

but those who miss me injure themselves;

  all who hate me love death.’
