Proverbs 8:10-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
10
Accept my instruction and not silver,
And knowledge rather than choice gold.
11
For wisdom is better than jewels;
And all desirable things cannot compare with her.
12
'I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And I find knowledge
and
discretion.
13
The fear of the
Lord
is to hate evil;
Pride, arrogance, the evil way,
And the perverted mouth, I hate.
14
Advice is mine and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, power is mine.
15
By me kings reign,
And rulers decree justice.
16
By me princes rule, and nobles,
All who judge rightly.
17
I love those who love me;
And those who diligently seek me will find me.
18
Riches and honor are with me,
Enduring wealth and righteousness.
19
My fruit is better than gold, even pure gold;
And my yield
better
than choice silver.
20
I walk in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice,
21
To endow those who love me with wealth,
That I may fill their treasuries.
22
'The
Lord
created me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old.
23
From eternity I was established,
From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.
King James Version
Chapter 8
10
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13
The fear of the
Lord
is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16
By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18
Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22
The
Lord
possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
10
Accept my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than pure gold.
11
For wisdom is better than jewels,
and nothing desirable can equal it.
12
I, wisdom, share a home with shrewdness
and have knowledge and discretion.
13
To fear the
Lord
is to hate evil.
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,
and perverse speech.
14
I possess good advice and sound wisdom;
I have understanding and strength.
15
It is by me that kings reign
and rulers enact just law;
16
by me, princes lead,
as do nobles and all righteous judges.
17
I love those who love me,
and those who search for me find me.
18
With me are riches and honor,
lasting wealth and righteousness.
19
My fruit is better than solid gold,
and my harvest than pure silver.
20
I walk in the ways of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,
21
giving wealth as an inheritance to those who love me,
and filling their treasuries.
22
"The
Lord
acquired me
at the beginning of his creation,
before his works of long ago.
23
I was formed before ancient times,
from the beginning, before the earth began.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
10
Choose my instruction rather than silver,
and knowledge rather than pure gold.
11
For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.
Nothing you desire can compare with it.
12
'I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.
I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.
13
All who fear the
Lord
will hate evil.
Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
corruption and perverse speech.
14
Common sense and success belong to me.
Insight and strength are mine.
15
Because of me, kings reign,
and rulers make just decrees.
16
Rulers lead with my help,
and nobles make righteous judgments.
17
'I love all who love me.
Those who search will surely find me.
18
I have riches and honor,
as well as enduring wealth and justice.
19
My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold,
my wages better than sterling silver!
20
I walk in righteousness,
in paths of justice.
21
Those who love me inherit wealth.
I will fill their treasuries.
22
'The
Lord
formed me from the beginning,
before he created anything else.
23
I was appointed in ages past,
at the very first, before the earth began.
