| 1 | Is not wisdom crying out, and the voice of knowledge sounding? | Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? |
| 2 | At the top of the highways, at the meeting of the roads, she takes her place; | She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. |
| 3 | Where the roads go into the town her cry goes out, at the doorways her voice is loud: | She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. |
| 4 | I am crying out to you, O men; my voice comes to the sons of men. | Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. |
| 5 | Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart. | O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. |
| 6 | Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright. | Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. |
| 7 | For good faith goes out of my mouth, and false lips are disgusting to me. | For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. |
| 8 | All the words of my mouth are righteousness; there is nothing false or twisted in them. | All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. |
| 9 | They are all true to him whose mind is awake, and straightforward to those who get knowledge. | They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. |
| 10 | Take my teaching, and not silver; get knowledge in place of the best gold. | Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. |
| 11 | For wisdom is better than jewels, and all things which may be desired are nothing in comparison with her. | For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. |
| 12 | I, wisdom, have made wise behaviour my near relation; I am seen to be the special friend of wise purposes. | I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. |
| 13 | The fear of the Lord is seen in hating evil: pride, a high opinion of oneself, the evil way, and the false tongue, are unpleasing to me. | The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. |
| 14 | Wise design and good sense are mine; reason and strength are mine. | Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. |
| 15 | Through me kings have their power, and rulers give right decisions. | By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. |
| 16 | Through me chiefs have authority, and the noble ones are judging in righteousness. | By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. |
| 17 | Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me. | I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. |
| 18 | Wealth and honour are in my hands, even wealth without equal and righteousness. | Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. |
| 19 | My fruit is better than gold, even than the best gold; and my increase is more to be desired than silver. | My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. |
| 20 | I go in the road of righteousness, in the way of right judging: | I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: |
| 21 | So that I may give my lovers wealth for their heritage, making their store-houses full. | That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. |
| 22 | The Lord made me as the start of his way, the first of his works in the past. | The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. |
| 23 | From eternal days I was given my place, from the birth of time, before the earth was. | I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. |
| 24 | When there was no deep I was given birth, when there were no fountains flowing with water. | When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. |
| 25 | Before the mountains were put in their places, before the hills was my birth: | Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: |
| 26 | When he had not made the earth or the fields or the dust of the world. | While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. |
| 27 | When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep: | When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: |
| 28 | When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed: | When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: |
| 29 | When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth: | When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: |
| 30 | Then I was by his side, as a master workman: and I was his delight from day to day, playing before him at all times; | Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; |
| 31 | Playing in his earth; and my delight was with the sons of men. | Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. |
| 32 | Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways. | Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. |
| 33 | Take my teaching and be wise; do not let it go. | Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. |
| 34 | Happy is the man who gives ear to me, watching at my doors day by day, keeping his place by the pillars of my house. | Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. |
| 35 | For whoever gets me gets life, and grace from the Lord will come to him. | For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord. |
| 36 | But he who does evil to me, does wrong to his soul: all my haters are in love with death. | But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. |
