Proverbs 8:1-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
1
Does not wisdom call,
And understanding raise her voice?
2
On top of the heights beside the way,
Where the paths meet, she takes her stand;
3
Beside the gates, at the opening to the city,
At the entrance of the doors, she cries out:
4
'To you, people, I call,
And my voice is to mankind.
5
You naive ones, understand prudence;
And, you fools, understand wisdom!
6
Listen, for I will speak noble things;
And the opening of my lips
will reveal
right things.
7
For my mouth will proclaim truth;
And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
King James Version
Chapter 8
1
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2
She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3
She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4
Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5
O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7
For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
1
Doesn’t wisdom call out?
Doesn’t understanding make her voice heard?
2
At the heights overlooking the road,
at the crossroads, she takes her stand.
3
Beside the gates leading into the city,
at the main entrance, she cries out:
4
"People, I call out to you;
my cry is to the children of Adam.
5
Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced;
develop common sense, you who are foolish.
6
Listen, for I speak of noble things,
and what my lips say is right.
7
For my mouth tells the truth,
and wickedness is detestable to my lips.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
1
Listen as Wisdom calls out!
Hear as understanding raises her voice!
2
On the hilltop along the road,
she takes her stand at the crossroads.
3
By the gates at the entrance to the town,
on the road leading in, she cries aloud,
4
'I call to you, to all of you!
I raise my voice to all people.
5
You simple people, use good judgment.
You foolish people, show some understanding.
6
Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you.
Everything I say is right,
7
for I speak the truth
and detest every kind of deception.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
1
Does not wisdom call?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2
On the heights beside the way,
at the crossroads she takes her stand;
3
beside the gates in front of the town,
at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:
4
"To you, O men, I call,
and my cry is to the children of man.
5
O simple ones, learn prudence;
O fools, learn sense.
6
Hear, for I will speak noble things,
and from my lips will come what is right,
7
for my mouth will utter truth;
wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
New International Version
Chapter 8
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.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
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.
