PROVERBS
8
Does
not Wisdom call out?
Does
not understanding raise her voice?
On
the heights along the way, where the paths meet,
SHE
TAKES HER STAND;
Beside
the gates leading into the city,
At
the entrances, SHE CRIES ALOUD:
TO
YOU, O MEN, I CALL OUT;
I
RAISE MY VOICE TO ALL MANKIND.
You
who are simple, gains prudence;
You
who are foolish, gain understanding.
Listen
for I have worthy things to say;
I
open my lips to speak what is Right.
My
mouth speaks what is True,
FOR
MY LIPS DETEST WICKEDNESS.
All
the worlds of my mouth are Just;
None
of them is crooked or perverse.
To
the discerning all of them are Right;
They
are faultless to those who have knowledge.
Choose
my instruction instead of silver,
Knowledge
rather than choice gold,
For
Wisdom is more precious than rubies,
And
NOTHING you desire can compare with her.
I
Wisdom, dwell together with Prudence;
I
possess knowledge and discretion.
TO
FEAR THE LORD IS TO HATE EVIL;
I
HATE PRIDE AND ARROGANCE,
EVIL
BEHAVIOR AND PERVERSE SPEECH.
Counsel
and sound judgment are mine;
I
have understanding a Power.
By
me kings reign and [righteous]
rulers make laws that are Just;
By
me princes govern, and all nobles who rule on earth.
I
LOVE THOSE WHO LOVE ME, and those who seek me find me.
With
me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
My
fruit is better than fine gold; What I yield surpasses choice silver.
I
walk in the way of Righteousness, along the paths of Justice,
Bestowing
wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.
The
Lord's possessed me at the BEGINNING of His work,
Before
His deeds of old; I was appointed from eternity,
From
the BEGINNING, before the World began.
When
there were no oceans, I was given BIRTH,
When
there were no springs abounding with water;
Before
the hills, I was given BIRTH,
Before
He made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the World.
I
was there when He set the heavens in place,
When
He marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
When
He established the clouds above
And
fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
When
He gave the sea its boundary
So
the waters would not overstep His command,
And
when He marked out the foundations of the earth.
Then
I was the Craftsman at His side.
I
was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in His
Presence,
Rejoicing
in his Whole World and delighting in mankind.
Now
then, my sons, listen to me,
BLESSED
ARE THOSE WHO KEEP MY WAYS.
Listen
to my instruction and be WISE; do not ignore it.
BLESSED
IS THE MAN WHO LISTENS TO ME,
Watching
daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
FOR
WHOEVER FINDS ME FINDS LIFE
AND
RECEIVES FAVOR FROM THE LORD.
BUT
WHOEVER FAILS TO FIND ME HARMS HIMSELF;
ALL
WHO HATE ME LOVE DEATH. (Proverbs 8)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
