Proverbs Chapter 8

1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

Prov
1:20  Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
9:3   She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

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.

Prov 22:20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,

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.

Job 28:25  To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

Psalms
19:10  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
119:127  Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

Prov
3:14, The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
3:15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
4:5  Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
4:7  Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
16:16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

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.

Prov
4:24  Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
6:17  A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
16:6  By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

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

Eccl 7:19  Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

Dan 2:21  And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Romans 13:1  Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

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.

1 Sam 2:30  Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

Psalm 91:14  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

Prov 3:16  Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

Matt 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

Prov
3:14  For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
8:10  Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

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.

Prov 3:19  The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

Psalms 2:6  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

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 was I brought forth:

Job 15:
7  Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8  Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

26 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 prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

Gen
1:9   And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
1:10   And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Job
38:4   Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
38:10  And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

Jer 5:22  Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

Psalms 37:22  For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

Psalm 37:30  The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
