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 King James Version NKJV

1 Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice?

2 She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, Beside the way, where the paths meet.

3 She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entrance of the doors:

4 "To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men.

5 O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart.

6 Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from the opening of my lips will come right things;

7 For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are with righteousness; Nothing crooked or perverse is in them.

9 They are all plain to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge.

10 Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold;

11 For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.

12 "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge and discretion.

13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength.

15 By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice.

16 By me princes rule, and nobles, All the judges of the earth.

17 I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.

18 Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness.

19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver.

20 I traverse the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice,

21 That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries.

22 "The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.

23 I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.

24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was brought forth;

26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, Or the primeval dust of the world.

27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,

28 When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,

29 When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth,

30 Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,

31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men.

32 "Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it.

34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the Lord;

36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death."
