1 Doeth not Wisedome crie? & Understanding put foorth her voice?
2 Shee standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the pathes.
3 She cryeth at the gates, at the entrie of the citie, at the comming in at the doores.
4 Unto you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sonnes of man.
5 O yee simple, vnderstand wisedome: and yee fooles, be yee of an vnderstanding heart.
6 Heare, for I will speake of excellent things: and the opening of my lippes shalbe right things.
7 For my mouth shall speake truth, and wickednesse is an abomination to my lippes.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousnes, there is nothing froward or peruerse in them.
9 They are all plaine to him that vnderstandeth: and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receiue my instruction, and not siluer: and knowledge rather then choise gold.
12 I wisedome dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inuentions.
14 Counsell is mine, and sound wisedome: I am vnderstanding, I haue strength.
15 By me kings reigne, and princes decree iustice.
16 By me Princes rule, and Nobles, euen all the Iudges of the earth.
17 I loue them that loue me, and those that seeke me early, shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me, yea durable riches and righteousnesse.
19 My fruite is better then gold, yea then fine gold, and my reuenue then choise siluer.
20 I leade in the way of righteousnesse, in the midst of the pathes of iudgment.
21 That I may cause those that loue me, to inherite substance: and I will fill their treasures.
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set vp from euerlasting, from the beginning, or euer the earth was.
24 When there were no depthes, I was brought forth: when there were no fountaines abounding with water.
25 Before the mountaines were setled: before the hilles, was I brought foorth:
27 When hee prepared the heauens, I was there: when he set a compasse vpon the face of the depth.
28 When he established the cloudes aboue: when he strengthned the fountaines of the deepe.
31 Reioycing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights were with the sonnes of men.
32 Nowe therefore hearken vnto me, O yee children: for blessed are they that keepe my wayes.
33 Heare instruction, and bee wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me: watching daily at my gates, waiting at the postes of my doores.
35 For whoso findeth mee, findeth life, and shall obtaine fauour of the Lord.
36 But hee that sinneth against me, wrongeth his owne soule; all they that hate me, loue death.

The still small voice of God take an attentive and quiet ear to hear. those who learn to discern the voice of God above all others, find themselves in a special and reserved place. A place where you stand blessed to the point of a more intimate fellowship, and daily assistance in our walk in this world and with God....32 & 34
Soldier of Christ's Proverbs Chapter 8 comment on 4/08/2013, 10:18am...
I like what it says about wisdom that there is no froward or perverse words on her lips you can actually get two things from just that one thing. one- you get that the words of wisdom will never tell you wrong things so whenever you here something perverted who ever said it the bible says that,that person is not wise and the second thing is that if the verse is true then if your to be wise you shouldn't let your eyes see your ears hear your fingers touch or even your tongue taste any froward or perverse things. i'm not going to tell you any of those types of things because if your saved and read your bible you'll know what your not supposed to do just the problem is adhearing to things that you know to be right brothers and sisters in Christ until we meet in heaven

I love Proverbs 8. It touches my mind, heart and soul with God's love. If you are lost, this chapter will give your soul guidance and peace. Glory be to our father. Amen.

I like this passage because God is offering his love to me and l want to return same love to him, as much as I can.
Biodun Williams's Proverbs Chapter 8 comment on 2/08/2013, 5:33am...
When the truths of the Holy Writ are put to work and honoured, we automatically become praise and adoration friendly, and that is, as unto God. And with that, the heavens cannot but open up on us. The fact is that we, as created human beings, and also as born again children of the Most High God, have been accepted already into the family of the beloved Jesus Christ, and that is that we might become wise unto salvation. Praise the LORD! As a matter of fact, based on the Scripture, we are meant to sow to ourselves, in righteousness- and with that, there are heaven's guaranteed rewards that glorify and honour the LORD God that He will permit toward us. That of course is one of the intent of the book of Proverbs; for it has all manner of issues that it covers and deals with. It is such an excellent and encouraging segment of the Scripture. It has warnings, admonitions, corrections, and directions inherent in it for he that believeth. And therefore, the Just shall live through the weaponry of faith, and faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. What do these mean? Well, it connotes and reflects, that even though we may have heard some things about God Word before and learn them, yet we must keep giving committed and unwavering attention to the Word of God- and also continue to live and honour God through what we have heard and learnt from His Word. Why is this? It is because, we belong to the things of the Holy Spirit- and God's Word works beautifully, wonderfully and remarkably.
Racheal's Proverbs Chapter 8 comment on 2/06/2013, 5:18pm...
Wisdom and understanding, We need to ask God for wisdom and understanding daily. Those who don't seek this values from God can find their lives on a very hard road.
Biodun Williams's Proverbs Chapter 8 comment on 2/06/2013, 9:37am...
Proverbs 8 starts with two provoking and penetrating questions! In other words, can you hear the cry of Wisdom and knowledge in the society where you are and where you go! Interestingly, hardly is there any profession or discipline that does not have its light, but the light of the Gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ, surpasses all of them. And therefore, through this chapter, we have an invitation to examine ourselves and look, as it were, very carefully and thoroughly in to who we are and what we are into. You see, in the work place, if you have even been involved in any sort of work, you are likely to notice that if you must get for instance to the top of the ladder in that sort of organisation or whatever, you can’t ignore hard work, high level of discipline, passion, integrity, and also commitment that is more than the ordinary. And, in all civilised society particularly in the Western World- and also in some others, you can notice elements of order, wherever you go. These did not suddenly happen- and often there must have been years of hard work, planning and all manner of inputs into it- and that is why sometimes you can smell migrants relocating into some of these areas from other places. But what has this got to do with Proverbs 8? Well, you see, in life, all things have some measure relativity with one another. Therefore, the importance and the high relevance and necessity of the Word of God, in the life of a Christian. The fact is that, if we are genuinely born again we must have heard that, as far as the Kingdom of God is concerned, your fellowship and intimacy with the Triune God, and the level of investment that we commit in terms of prayerful time in His Word can’t be ignored. There are spaces and there are seats? There are dominions and there are thrones? There are doors and there are entrances. The truth is that the space that you give God is what He will occupy and that is because it is the entrance of God’s Word into the spiritual man that giveth light, Psalm 119:130. In fact it says: To the law and to the testimony if they speak not according to this book, it is because there is no light in them, Isaiah 8:20. This also points to the importance of true knowledge of the Holy Writ- and it can’t simply happen except we are really serious about it. It is also true that what you pay attention to has one way of the other, of determining the course of your life- hence the immense relevance of intensive immersion in the Holy Writ- and that is through, whatever manner of the dispensing and administering of the preached Word that comes your way. If the Holy Writ says: ‘’Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness…’’, Matthew 6:33; that is precisely what it meaneth! It is also the case that if it says, ‘’Delight yourself in the LORD and He shall give you the desires of your heart’’ (Psalm 37:4), indicating and connoting, investment of great amount of time in God’s Word, through prayers , fellowship with God, reflecting upon His Word, and the practice of it, then that is what it sayeth! That means you and I, are the ones to determine the measure of obedience that we put in place vis a vis the will of God as He reveals it to us differently. The interesting things about it is that no matter your depth of knowledge about these things, God’s Word is unfathomable, and when you become a student of His Word, very soon, you would come to an understanding that, God, in His righteousness, love, holiness and immeasurable generosity, is truly and really worthy of honour, adoration, praise and worship. Blessed be His holy name forever and ever. Hallelujah!

Be watchful, and careful of your time. You have choices and to make the right ones. You first need to be instructed on the wrong ones. Everything depends on the outcome and what we learn from what happens to us also.
