PROVERBS
Chapter 8
Prov | CPDV | 8:2 | At the summits and the tops of exalted places, standing above the ways, in the midst of the paths, | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:6 | Listen, for I will speak about great things, and my lips will be opened, so as to foretell what is right. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:9 | They are upright to those who understand, and equitable to those who discover knowledge. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:11 | For wisdom is better than all that is most precious, and everything that is desirable cannot compare to her. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:13 | The fear of the Lord hates evil. I detest arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:17 | I love those who love me. And those who stand watch for me until morning shall discover me. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:19 | For my fruit is better than gold and precious stones, and my progeny better than choice silver. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:22 | The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made anything, from the beginning. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:24 | The abyss did not yet exist, and I was already conceived; neither had the fountains of waters yet erupted. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:25 | The mountains, with their great mass, had not yet been established. Before the hills, I was brought forth. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:26 | Still he had not made the earth, and the rivers, and the poles of the globe of the earth. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:27 | I was already present: when he prepared the heavens; when, with a certain law and a circuit, he fortified the abyss; | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:29 | when he encompassed the sea within its limits, and laid down a law for the waters, lest they transgress their limits; when he weighed the foundations of the earth. | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:30 | I was with him in composing all things. And I was delighted, throughout every day, by playing in his sight at all times, | |
Prov | CPDV | 8:34 | Blessed is the man who listens to me, and who stands watch at my gates every day, and who observes at the posts of my doors. | |
