Doth not wisdomH2451 cryH7121? and understandingH8394 put forthH5414 her voiceH6963?
She standethH5324 in the topH7218 of high placesH4791, by the wayH1870 in the placesH1004 of the pathsH5410.
She criethH7442 atH3027 the gatesH8179, at the entryH6310 of the cityH7176, at the comingH3996 in at the doorsH6607.
Unto you, O menH376, I callH7121; and my voiceH6963 is to the sonsH1121 of manH120.
O ye simpleH6612, understandH995 wisdomH6195: and, ye foolsH3684, be ye of an understandingH995 heartH3820.
HearH8085; for I will speakH1696 of excellent thingsH5057; and the openingH4669 of my lipsH8193 shall be right thingsH4339.
For my mouthH2441 shall speakH1897 truthH571; and wickednessH7562 is an abominationH8441 to my lipsH8193. {an…: Heb. the abomination of my lips}
All the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310 are in righteousnessH6664; there is nothing frowardH6617 or perverseH6141 in them. {froward: Heb. wreathed}
They are all plainH5228 to him that understandethH995, and rightH3477 to them that findH4672 knowledgeH1847.
ReceiveH3947 my instructionH4148, and not silverH3701; and knowledgeH1847 rather than choiceH977 goldH2742.
For wisdomH2451 is betterH2896 than rubiesH6443; and all the things that may be desiredH2656 are not to be comparedH7737 to it.
I wisdomH2451 dwellH7931 with prudenceH6195, and find outH4672 knowledgeH1847 of witty inventionsH4209. {prudence: or, subtilty}
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451: prideH1344, and arrogancyH1347, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the frowardH8419 mouthH6310, do I hateH8130.
CounselH6098 is mine, and sound wisdomH8454: I am understandingH998; I have strengthH1369.
By me kingsH4428 reignH4427, and princesH7336 decreeH2710 justiceH6664.
By me princesH8269 ruleH8323, and noblesH5081, even all the judgesH8199 of the earthH776.
I loveH157 them that loveH157 me; and those that seek me earlyH7836 shall findH4672 me.
RichesH6239 and honourH3519 are with me; yea, durableH6276 richesH1952 and righteousnessH6666.
My fruitH6529 is betterH2896 than goldH2742, yea, than fine goldH6337; and my revenueH8393 than choiceH977 silverH3701.
I leadH1980 in the wayH734 of righteousnessH6666, in the midstH8432 of the pathsH5410 of judgmentH4941: {lead: or, walk}
That I may cause those that loveH157 me to inheritH5157 substanceH3426; and I will fillH4390 their treasuresH214.
The LORDH3068 possessedH7069 me in the beginningH7225 of his wayH1870, beforeH6924 his worksH4659 of old.
I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.
When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342; when there were no fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.
Before the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forthH2342:
While as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fieldsH2351, nor the highest partH7218 of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398. {fields: or, open places} {the highest…: or, the chief part}
When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH2710 a compassH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the depthH8415: {a compass: or, a circle}
When he establishedH553 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4605: when he strengthenedH5810 the fountainsH5869 of the deepH8415:
When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:
Then I was by himH681, as one brought upH525 with him: and I was dailyH3117+H3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH6256 beforeH6440 him;
RejoicingH7832 in the habitable partH8398 of his earthH776; and my delightsH8191 were with the sonsH1121 of menH120.
Now therefore hearkenH8085 unto me, O ye childrenH1121: for blessedH835 are they that keepH8104 my waysH1870.
HearH8085 instructionH4148, and be wiseH2449, and refuseH6544 it not.
BlessedH835 is the manH120 that hearethH8085 me, watchingH8245 dailyH3117+H3117 at my gatesH1817, waitingH8104 at the postsH4201 of my doorsH6607.
For whoso findethH4672 me findethH4672+H4672 lifeH2416, and shall obtainH6329 favourH7522 of the LORDH3068. {obtain: Heb. bring forth}
But he that sinnethH2398 against me wrongethH2554 his own soulH5315: all they that hateH8130 me loveH157 deathH4194.
If there be thereforeG3767 anyG1536 consolationG3874 inG1722 ChristG5547, if anyG1536 comfortG3890 of loveG26, if anyG1536 fellowshipG2842 of the SpiritG4151, if anyG1536 bowelsG4698 andG2532 merciesG3628,
Fulfil yeG4137 myG3450 joyG5479, thatG2443 ye be likemindedG846+G5426, havingG2192 the sameG846 loveG26, being of one accordG4861, of oneG1520 mindG5426.
Let nothingG3367 be done throughG2596 strifeG2052 orG2228 vaingloryG2754; butG235 in lowliness of mindG5012 letG2233 eachG240 esteemG2233 otherG240 better thanG5242 themselvesG1438.
LookG4648 notG3361 every manG1538 on his own thingsG1438, butG235 every manG1538 alsoG2532 on the thingsG3588 of othersG2087.
LetG5426 thisG5124 mind beG5426 inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 was alsoG2532 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhoG3739, beingG5225 inG1722 the formG3444 of GodG2316, thought itG2233 notG3756 robberyG725 to beG1511 equalG2470 with GodG2316:
ButG235 madeG2758 himselfG1438 of no reputationG2758, and took upon himG2983 the formG3444 of a servantG1401, and was madeG1096 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of menG444:
AndG2532 being foundG2147 in fashionG4976 asG5613 a manG444, he humbledG5013 himselfG1438, and becameG1096 obedientG5255 untoG3360 deathG2288, evenG1161 the deathG2288 of the crossG4716. {fashion: or habit}
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 hath highly exaltedG5251 himG846, andG2532 givenG5483 himG846 a nameG3686 whichG3588 is aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686:
ThatG2443 atG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 everyG3956 kneeG1119 should bowG2578, of things in heavenG2032, andG2532 things in earthG1919, andG2532 things under the earthG2709;
AndG2532 that everyG3956 tongueG1100 should confessG1843 thatG3754 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is LordG2962, toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27, asG2531 ye haveG5219 alwaysG3842 obeyedG5219, notG3361 asG5613 inG1722 myG3450 presenceG3952 onlyG3440, butG235 nowG3568 muchG4183 moreG3123 inG1722 myG3450 absenceG666, work outG2716 your ownG1438 salvationG4991 withG3326 fearG5401 andG2532 tremblingG5156.
ForG1063 it isG2076 GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 youG5213 bothG2532 to willG2309 andG2532 to doG1754 ofG5228 his good pleasureG2107.
DoG4160 all thingsG3956 withoutG5565 murmuringsG1112 andG2532 disputingsG1261:
ThatG2443 ye may beG1096 blamelessG273 andG2532 harmlessG185, the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, without rebukeG298, inG1722 the midstG3319 of a crookedG4646 andG2532 perverseG1294 nationG1074, amongG1722 whomG3739 ye shineG5316 asG5613 lightsG5458 inG1722 the worldG2889; {harmless: or, sincere} {ye shine: or, shine ye}
Holding forthG1907 the wordG3056 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 IG1698 may rejoiceG2745 inG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 I haveG5143 notG3756 runG5143 inG1519 vainG2756, neitherG3761 labouredG2872 inG1519 vainG2756.
YeaG235, and ifG1499 I be offeredG4689 uponG1909 the sacrificeG2378 andG2532 serviceG3009 of yourG5216 faithG4102, I joyG5463, andG2532 rejoice withG4796 youG5213 allG3956. {offered: Gr. poured forth}
ForG1161 the same causeG846 alsoG2532 doG5463 yeG5210 joyG5463, andG2532 rejoice withG4796 meG3427.
ButG1161 I trustG1679 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 to sendG3992 TimotheusG5095 shortlyG5030 unto youG5213, thatG2443 I alsoG2504 may be of good comfortG2174, when I knowG1097 yourG5216 stateG4012. {But: or, Moreover}
ForG1063 I haveG2192 no manG3762 likemindedG2473, whoG3748 will naturallyG1104 careG3309 for yourG5216 stateG4012. {likeminded: or, so dear unto me}
ForG1063 allG3956 seekG2212 their ownG1438, notG3756 the things which areG3588 JesusG2424 Christ'sG5547.
ButG1161 ye knowG1097 the proofG1382 of himG846, thatG3754, asG5613 a sonG5043 with the fatherG3962, he hath servedG1398 withG4862 meG1698 inG1519 the gospelG2098.
HimG3303+G5126 thereforeG3767 I hopeG1679 to sendG3992 presentlyG1824, so soon asG5613 IG302 shall seeG542 howG4012 it will go with meG1691.
ButG1161 I trustG3982 inG1722 the LordG2962 thatG3754 IG2064 alsoG2532 myselfG846 shall comeG2064 shortlyG5030.
YetG1161 I supposedG2233 it necessaryG316 to sendG3992 toG4314 youG5209 EpaphroditusG1891, myG3450 brotherG80, andG2532 companion in labourG4904, andG2532 fellowsoldierG4961, butG1161 yourG5216 messengerG652, andG2532 he that ministeredG3011 to myG3450 wantsG5532.
ForG1894 heG2258 longed afterG1971 youG5209 allG3956, andG2532 was full of heavinessG85, becauseG1360 that ye had heardG191 thatG3754 he had been sickG770.
ForG1063 indeedG2532 he was sickG770 nighG3897 unto deathG2288: butG235 GodG2316 had mercyG1653 on himG846; andG1161 notG3756 on himG846 onlyG3440, butG235 on meG1691 alsoG2532, lestG3363 I should haveG2192 sorrowG3077 uponG1909 sorrowG3077.
I sentG3992 himG846 thereforeG3767 the more carefullyG4708, thatG2443, when ye seeG1492 himG846 againG3825, ye may rejoiceG5463, and that IG2504 may beG5600 the less sorrowfulG253.
ReceiveG4327 himG846 thereforeG3767 inG1722 the LordG2962 withG3326 allG3956 gladnessG5479; andG2532 holdG2192 suchG5108 in reputationG1784: {hold…: or, honor such}
BecauseG3754 forG1223 the workG2041 of ChristG5547 he was nighG1448 untoG3360 deathG2288, not regardingG3851 his lifeG5590, toG2443 supplyG378 yourG5216 lackG5303 of serviceG3009 towardG4314 meG3165.
ForG1063 evenG1519 hereuntoG5124 were ye calledG2564: becauseG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 forG5228 usG2257, leavingG5277 usG2254 an exampleG5261, thatG2443 ye should followG1872 hisG846 stepsG2487: {for us: some read, for you}
For thisG5127 causeG5484 IG1473 PaulG3972, the prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 GentilesG1484,
