Proverbs 8:5-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
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.
8
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing crooked or perverted in them.
9
They are all straightforward to him who understands,
And right to those who find knowledge.
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.
King James Version
Chapter 8
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.
8
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9
They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that 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 that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
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.
8
All the words from my mouth are righteous;
none of them are deceptive or perverse.
9
All of them are clear to the perceptive,
and right to those who discover knowledge.
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.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
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.
8
My advice is wholesome.
There is nothing devious or crooked in it.
9
My words are plain to anyone with understanding,
clear to those with knowledge.
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.
