Proverbs 8 In Praise of Wisdom 1 Listen! Wisdom is calling out. 4 I call to everyone on earth. 5 Are you immature? Learn to be mature. 6 Listen to my excellent words; all I tell you is right. 7 What I say is the truth; lies are hateful to me. 9 To those with insight, it is all clear; to the well-informed, it is all plain. 11 “I am Wisdom, I am better than jewels; nothing you want can compare with me. 12 I am Wisdom, and I have insight; I have knowledge and sound judgment. 13 To honor the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil ways and false words. 15 I help kings to govern and rulers to make good laws. 17 I love those who love me; whoever looks for me can find me. 18 I have riches and honor to give, prosperity and success. 19 What you get from me is better than the finest gold, better than the purest silver. 30 I was his daily source of joy, always happy in his presence— 31 happy with the world and pleased with the human race 34 Those who listen to me will be happy— 35 Those who find me find life.
