Proverbs 8:15-31

15By me kingsH4428 reignH4427, and rulersH7336 enact justH6664 lawsH2710;16By me princesH8269 ruleH8323, and allH3605 noblesH5081 who governH8199 justlyH6664.1

17IH589 loveH157 those who love meH157,and those who seek me earlyH7836 shall find meH4672.18With meH854 are richesH6239 and honorH3519,enduringH6276 wealthH1952 and righteousnessH6666.19My fruitH6529 is betterH2896 than goldH2742, pure goldH6337,and my harvestH8393 surpasses choiceH977 silverH3701.20I walkH1980 in the wayH734 of righteousnessH6666,alongH8432 the pathsH5410 of justiceH4941,21bestowingH5157 wealthH3426 on those who love meH157and makingH4390 their treasuries fullH214.

22The LORDH3068 created meH7069 as His firstH7225 courseH1870,2beforeH6924 His worksH4659 of oldH227.23From everlastingH5769 I was establishedH5258,from the beginningH7218, before the earthH776 beganH6924.24When there were noH369 watery depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342,when noH369 springsH4599 were overflowingH3513 with waterH4325.25BeforeH2962 the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883,beforeH6440 the hillsH1389, I was brought forthH2342,26beforeH5704 H3808 He madeH6213 the landH776 or fieldsH2351,or anyH7218 of the dustH6083 of the earthH8398.

27IH589 was thereH8033 when He establishedH3559 the heavensH8064,when He inscribedH2710 a circleH2329 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the deepH8415,28when He establishedH553 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4605,when the fountainsH5869 of the deepH8415 gushed forthH5810,29when He setH7760 a boundaryH2706 for the seaH3220,so that the watersH4325 would notH3808 surpassH5674 His commandH6310,when He marked outH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776.30Then I wasH1961 a skilled craftsmanH525 at His sideH681,andH1961 His delightH8191 3 dayH3117 by dayH3117,rejoicingH7832 alwaysH3605 H6256 in His presenceH6440.31I was rejoicingH7832 in His whole worldH8398 H776,delightingH8191 togetherH854 in the sonsH1121 of menH120.
