Proverbs 8:22-36
22The LORD created me as His first course,1 before His works of old.23From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, before the earth began.24When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth, when no springs were overflowing with water.25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth,26before He made the land or fields, or any of the dust of the earth.
27I was there when He established the heavens,when He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,28when He established the clouds above,when the fountains of the deep gushed forth,29when He set a boundary for the sea,so that the waters would not surpass His command,when He marked out the foundations of the earth.30Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side,and His delight2 day by day,rejoicing always in His presence.31I was rejoicing in His whole world,delighting together in the sons of men.
32Now therefore, my sons, listen to me,for blessed are those who keep my ways.33Listen to instruction and be wise;do not ignore it.34Blessed is the man who listens to me,watching daily at my doors,waiting at the posts of my doorway.35For whoever finds me finds lifeand obtains the favor of the LORD.36But he who fails to find me harms himself;all who hate me love death.”
