Proverbs 8 (KJV)
1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
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.
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.
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.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
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.
18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
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.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
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:
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:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
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.
I decree and declare that wisdom is the principal thing in my life, and therefore I pursue it above silver and gold.
I am not guided by human opinion, but by the eternal wisdom of God, which is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of good fruit.
The Spirit of wisdom and revelation rests upon me, opening my eyes to see beyond the natural and discern the things of the Spirit.
I decree that confusion and foolishness shall not reign in my life. Every trap of deception, every spirit of error, and every counterfeit voice is silenced now by the power of Almighty God.
My ears are tuned to the voice of wisdom; I hear the Lord saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” and I shall not depart.
I decree that wisdom builds my house, secures my foundation, and fills every room of my life with riches, honor, and peace.
The wisdom of God orders my steps, corrects my path, and positions me for divine success.
I carry the mind of Christ, and therefore I think with clarity, I decide with precision, and I act with discernment.
I decree that kings, leaders, and nations will recognize the wisdom of God upon me.
I will not be overlooked, for wisdom distinguishes me, promotes me, and causes my name to be spoken in rooms where decisions are made.
As Daniel was found ten times wiser, so shall I excel in knowledge, counsel, and skill.
I decree that wisdom guards my heart, governs my tongue, and guides my relationships.
I will not be entangled with folly, for wisdom protects me from snares and leads me into covenant connections that sharpen and elevate me.
I decree that in this season, wisdom brings acceleration to my destiny.
It unlocks hidden opportunities, opens ancient gates, and grants me access to treasures stored in secret places.
I live in abundance of revelation, strategy, and understanding that will not only bless me but will bless generations to come.
I decree that I am a vessel of God’s wisdom, a well of understanding, and a fountain of counsel.
I walk as a light in dark places, and I will leave an inheritance of wisdom, truth, and grace.
Wisdom is my portion.
Wisdom is my protection.
Wisdom is my crown.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
