Proverbs 8

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 numquid non sapientia clamitat et prudentia dat vocem suam

2 in summis excelsisque verticibus super viam in mediis semitis stans

3 iuxta portas civitatis in ipsis foribus loquitur dicens

4 o viri ad vos clamito et vox mea ad filios hominum

5 intellegite parvuli astutiam et insipientes animadvertite

6 audite quoniam de rebus magnis locutura sum et aperientur labia mea ut recta praedicent

7 veritatem meditabitur guttur meum et labia mea detestabuntur impium

8 iusti sunt omnes sermones mei non est in eis pravum quid neque perversum

9 recti sunt intellegentibus et aequi invenientibus scientiam

10 accipite disciplinam meam et non pecuniam doctrinam magis quam aurum eligite

11 melior est enim sapientia cunctis pretiosissimis et omne desiderabile ei non potest conparari

12 ego sapientia habito in consilio et eruditis intersum cogitationibus

13 timor Domini odit malum arrogantiam et superbiam et viam pravam et os bilingue detestor

14 meum est consilium et aequitas mea prudentia mea est fortitudo

15 per me reges regnant et legum conditores iusta decernunt

16 per me principes imperant et potentes decernunt iustitiam

17 ego diligentes me diligo et qui mane vigilant ad me invenient me

18 mecum sunt divitiae et gloria opes superbae et iustitia

19 melior est fructus meus auro et pretioso lapide et genimina mea argento electo

20 in viis iustitiae ambulo in medio semitarum iudicii

21 ut ditem diligentes me et thesauros eorum repleam

22 Dominus possedit me initium viarum suarum antequam quicquam faceret a principio

23 ab aeterno ordita sum et ex antiquis antequam terra fieret

24 necdum erant abyssi et ego iam concepta eram necdum fontes aquarum eruperant

25 necdum montes gravi mole constiterant ante colles ego parturiebar

26 adhuc terram non fecerat et flumina et cardines orbis terrae

27 quando praeparabat caelos aderam quando certa lege et gyro vallabat abyssos

28 quando aethera firmabat sursum et librabat fontes aquarum

29 quando circumdabat mari terminum suum et legem ponebat aquis ne transirent fines suos quando adpendebat fundamenta terrae

30 cum eo eram cuncta conponens et delectabar per singulos dies ludens coram eo omni tempore

31 ludens in orbe terrarum et deliciae meae esse cum filiis hominum

32 nunc ergo filii audite me beati qui custodiunt vias meas

33 audite disciplinam et estote sapientes et nolite abicere eam

34 beatus homo qui audit me qui vigilat ad fores meas cotidie et observat ad postes ostii mei

35 qui me invenerit inveniet vitam et hauriet salutem a Domino

36 qui autem in me peccaverit laedet animam suam omnes qui me oderunt diligunt mortem

Good News Translation GNT

1 Listen! Wisdom is calling out. Reason is making herself heard.

2 On the hilltops near the road and at the crossroads she stands.

3 At the entrance to the city, beside the gates, she calls:

4 "I appeal to all of you; I call to everyone on earth.

5 Are you immature? Learn to be mature. Are you foolish? Learn to have sense.

6 Listen to my excellent words; all I tell you is right.

7 What I say is the truth; lies are hateful to me.

8 Everything I say is true; nothing is false or misleading.

9 To those with insight, it is all clear; to the well-informed, it is all plain.

10 Choose my instruction instead of silver; choose knowledge rather than the finest gold.

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.

14 I make plans and carry them out. I have understanding, and I am strong.

15 I help kings to govern and rulers to make good laws.

16 Every ruler on earth governs with my help, officials and nobles alike.

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.

20 I walk the way of righteousness; I follow the paths of justice,

21 giving wealth to those who love me, filling their houses with treasures.

22 "The Lord created me first of all, the first of his works, long ago.

23 I was made in the very beginning, at the first, before the world began.

24 I was born before the oceans, when there were no springs of water.

25 I was born before the mountains, before the hills were set in place,

26 before God made the earth and its fields or even the first handful of soil.

27 I was there when he set the sky in place, when he stretched the horizon across the ocean,

28 when he placed the clouds in the sky, when he opened the springs of the ocean

29 and ordered the waters of the sea to rise no further than he said. I was there when he laid the earth's foundations.

30 I was beside him like an architect, I was his daily source of joy, always happy in his presence -

31 happy with the world and pleased with the human race.

32 "Now, young people, listen to me. Do as I say, and you will be happy.

33 Listen to what you are taught. Be wise; do not neglect it.

34 Those who listen to me will be happy - those who stay at my door every day, waiting at the entrance to my home.

35 Those who find me find life, and the Lord will be pleased with them.

36 Those who do not find me hurt themselves; anyone who hates me loves death."
