But in vain is the net laid forth before the bird's eyes.

She calleth before the congregation in the open gates, and showeth her words through the city, saying,

The chief point of wisdom is that thou be willing to obtain wisdom, and before all thy goods to get the understanding.

"The LORD himself had me in possession in the beginning of his ways, before he began his works afore time.

I have been ordained from everlasting, and from the beginning before the earth was made.

Whoso keepeth evil will secretly, to do hurt, his malice shall be showed before the whole congregation.

Two things I require of thee, that thou will not deny me before I die.
