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

New International Version NIV

1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?

2 At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

3 beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:

4 “To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.

5 You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.

6 Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right.

7 My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.

8 All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.

9 To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge.

10 Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold,

11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

12 “I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.

13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.

14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power.

15 By me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just;

16 by me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth.

17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.

18 With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.

19 My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.

20 I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,

21 bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full.

22 “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,before his deeds of old;

23 I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.

24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water;

25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,

26 before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth.

27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

28 when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,

29 when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

30 Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,

31 rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.

32 “Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.

33 Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it.

34 Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.

35 For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD.

36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.”
