I, Wisdom call aloud outside, I raise My voice in the open squares
I cry out in the chief concourses, at the opening of the Gates in the city.
If you incline your heart to it you will understand the fear of the lord and find the knowledge of God.
Who listens to Me will dwell safely and will be secure, without fear of evil.
I, Wisdom, dwell with prudence and find out knowledge and understanding.
Counsel is Mine, and sound wisdom, I am understanding, I have strength.
Happy is the man who finds Me, And the man who gains understanding;
Riches and honour are with Me, and My fruit is better than gold
I traverse the way of righteousness, That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
that I may fill their treasuries. For My proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with Wisdom.
Length of days is in My right hand, And in My left hand riches and honor.
My ways are ways of pleasantness, And all My paths are peace.
I am a tree of life to those who take hold of Me,
And happy are all who retain Me.

I am life to your soul and grace to your neck.
And blessed are those who keep my ways.
The LORD by Wisdom founded the earth;
I have been established from everlasting,
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
When there were no depths I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;
While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,
Or the primal dust of the world.
When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
When He established the clouds above,
When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman
And I was daily His delight,
When there were no depths I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.

And I was daily His delight,
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
Wisdom is the principal thing,
SO GET WISDOM!
