DOTH not wisdom cry?  and understanding put forth her voice?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017261">2</a>. She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017262">3</a>. She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017263">4</a>. Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017264">5</a>. O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017265">6</a>. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017266">7</a>. For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017267">8</a>. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017268">9</a>. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017269">10</a>. Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017270">11</a>. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017271">12</a>. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017272">13</a>. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017273">14</a>. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017274">15</a>. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017275">16</a>. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017276">17</a>. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017277">18</a>. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017278">19</a>. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017279">20</a>. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017280">21</a>. That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017281">22</a>. The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017282">23</a>. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017283">24</a>. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017284">25</a>. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017285">26</a>. While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017286">27</a>. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017287">28</a>. When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017288">29</a>. When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017289">30</a>. Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017290">31</a>. Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017291">32</a>. Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017292">33</a>. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017293">34</a>. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017294">35</a>. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017295">36</a>. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.</li>
