8 Does not wisdom call out
and understanding give her voice?
2 At the head of the heights beside the road,
the house of the paths, she stations herself.
3 At the hand of the gates, at the mouth of the city,
the entrance of the openings, she cries out.
4 “To you, men, I call;
and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 Understand prudence, naive ones,
and stupid ones, understand heart.
6 Listen, for noble things I will speak,
and the opening of my lips will be upright things.
7 For my palate will utter truth,
and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
there is nothing twisted or crooked in them.
9 All of them are straightforward things for the understanding one
and upright things for finders of knowledge.
10 Take my instruction and not silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than corals
and all desired things do not compare with her.
12 I, Wisdom, I dwell with prudence,
and knowledge of discretion I find.
13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil.
Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the mouth of perverse things I hate.
14 Counsel and sound wisdom are mine;
I am understanding; strength is mine.
15 By me kings reign and dignitaries decree righteousness.
16 By me princes rule,
and nobles, all judges of righteousness.
17 I myself love those who love me,
and those who diligently seek me will find me.
18 Riches and honor are with me,
lasting wealth and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, and than refined gold,
and my produce than choice silver.
20 I walk in the path of righteousness,
in the midst of the beaten paths of justice,
21 to cause those who love me to inherit property;
and their treasuries I will fill.
22 Yahweh possessed me at the beginning of his way,
before his works from then.
23 From eternity I was poured out,[fn]
from the head, from the ancient times of the earth.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth,
when there were no springs heavy[fn] with water.
25 Before the mountains were sunk,
before the face of the hills, I was brought forth,
26 before he made the earth or the outside places
or the head of the loose soil of the world.
27 When he established the heavens, I was there,
when he inscribed a circle over the face of the watery deep,
28 when he made firm the clouds above,
when the springs of the watery deep became strong,
29 when he set up for the sea its statute,
so waters do not cross over his mouth,
when he inscribed the foundations of the earth.
30 Then I was beside him as a skilled worker,
and I was a delight day by day,
frolicking before his face at every time.
31 Frolicking in the world of his earth,
and my delights were with the sons of man.
32 And now, sons, listen to me,
and happy are they who keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction,
and be wise, and do not neglect it.
34 Happy is the man listening to me,
keeping vigil over my doors day by day,
keeping watch over the doorposts of my entrances.
35 For finders of me are finders of life,
and he obtains favor from Yahweh.
36 But a sinner against me does violence to his life;
all haters of me love death.”
Instead of was poured out some read the Hebrew word as was shaped.
Instead of heavy some versions read the Hebrew word as overflowing.
