Proverbs 8:22-36

22Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his wayH1870, before his works of old. 23I was set up from eternity, from the beginning, before the earthH776 was. 24When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with waterH4325. 25Before the mountainsH2022 were settled, before the hillsH1389 was I brought forth; 26while as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398. 27When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064 I was there; when he ordained the circleH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the deepH8415; 28when he established the skies above, when the fountains of the deepH8415 became strongH553; 29when he imposed on the seaH3220 his decreeH2706 that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandment, when he appointedH7760 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776: 30then I wasH1961 by him [his] nursling, and I wasH1961 daily his delightH8191, rejoicing always before him; 31rejoicing in the habitable part of his earthH776, and my delights [were] with the sonsH1121 of menH120. 32And nowH6258, sonsH1121, hearken unto me, and blessed are they that keepH8104 my waysH1870: 33hearH8085 instruction and be wiseH2449, and refuse it not. 34Blessed is the manH120 that heareth me, watchingH8245 daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doorsH1817. 35For whoso findeth me findeth lifeH2416, and obtaineth favour of Jehovah; 36but he that sinneth against me doeth violenceH2554 to his ownH5315 soulH5315: all they that hateH8130 me loveH157 deathH4194.
