ABP - Proverbs - 8

8:1  You [2wisdom 1shall proclaim], that intellect should obey you.

8:2  [3upon 1For 4the 5high 6extremities 2she is], [3in the midst 1and 4of the 5paths 2she stands].

8:3  For by the gates of mighty ones she is occupied; and in the entrances sings, saying,

8:4  You, O men, I comfort; and I let go with my voice to the sons of men.

8:5  Comprehend, O guileless ones, astuteness! and O uninstructed, insert it in heart!

8:6  Listen to me! [3serious things 1for 2I shall speak], and I will offer [2from 3my lips 1straight things]!

8:7  For [3truth 2shall meditate 1my throat]; [4are abhorrent 1and 5before 6me 3lips 2lying].

8:8  [5are with 6righteousness 1All 2the 3sayings 4of my mouth]; nothing in them is crooked nor insidious.

8:9  All is face to face to the ones perceiving; and straight to the ones finding knowledge.

8:10  Receive instruction, and not silver! and knowledge above [2gold 1tried].

8:11  [3is better 1For 2wisdom 5stones 4than very costly]; and every esteemed thing [2not 3worth 4her 1is].

8:12  I wisdom encamped with counsel and knowledge; and [3reflection 1I 2called upon].

8:13  The fear of the lord detests injustice; insolence also, and pride, and the ways of evil ones; [3have detested 1and 2I] the perverting ways of evil men.

8:14  [4are mine 1Counsel 2and 3safety]; [2is mine 1intelligence], [3is mine 1and 2strength].

8:15  By me kings reign, and the mighty ones write righteousness.

8:16  Through me great men become magnified, and sovereigns through me take hold of the earth.

8:17  I [2the ones 4me 3being fond of 1love]; and the ones seeking me shall find favor.

8:18  Wealth and glory exist by me, and [2property 1much] and righteousness.

8:19  Best to gather my fruit than gold and [2stone 1precious]; and my produce is better than [2silver 1choice].

8:20  [2in 3the ways 4of righteousness 1I walk], and [2in the midst 3of paths 4of reason 1I return];

8:21  that I shall portion [2to the ones 3loving me 1substance]; and their treasuries I shall fill up of good things. If I should announce to you the things [2each 3day 1happening], I will remember also [2the things 3of 4the eon 1to count].

8:22  The lord created me the head of his ways for his works.

8:23  Before the eon he founded me in the beginning, before the [2the 3earth 1making];

8:24  and before the [2the 3abysses 1making]; before the coming forth of the springs of waters;

8:25  before [2of the 3mountains 1the seating]; and before all the hills he engenders me.

8:26  The lord made regions, and uninhabited places, and uttermost parts of the inhabitable world under the heavens.

8:27  When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him, and when he separated his throne upon the winds;

8:28  when [5strong 1he made 2the 3upward 4clouds]; and as [5safe 1he made 2the springs 3under 4heaven];

8:29  in the putting [2to the 3sea 1of his restriction]; and the waters shall not go by his mouth; and as [6strong 1he made 2the 3foundations 4of the 5earth],

8:30  I was by him. [3being in accord 1I 2was], in which he rejoiced with. [2each 3day 1And] I was glad in front of him at all time,

8:31  even when he was pleased with the [2the inhabitable world 1completing], and was pleased among the sons of men.

8:32  Now then, O son, hear me! and blessed are the ones [2my ways 1guarding].

8:33  Hear wisdom! and you should be wise, and you should not seal it up. Blessed is the man who shall listen to me, and the man who [2my 3ways 1shall guard];

8:34  being awake at my doors each day, giving heed at the doorposts of my entrances.

8:35  For my issues are the issues of life, and in them [2is prepared 1volition] from the lord.

8:36  But the ones sinning against me are impious unto their own souls; and the ones detesting me love death.
