Proverbs 8:22-36

22YhwhH3068 possessedH7069 me in the beginningH7225 of his wayH1870, beforeH6924 his worksH4659 of old.

23I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.

24When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342; when there were no fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.

25Before the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forthH2342:

26While as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fieldsH2351, nor the highest partH7218 of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398.12

27When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH2710 a compassH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the depthH8415:3

28When he establishedH553 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4605: when he strengthenedH5810 the fountainsH5869 of the deepH8415:

29When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:

30Then I was by himH681, as one brought upH525 with him: and I was dailyH3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH6256 beforeH6440 him;

31RejoicingH7832 in the habitable partH8398 of his earthH776; and my delightsH8191 were with the sonsH1121 of menH120.

32Now therefore hearkenH8085 unto me, O ye childrenH1121: for blessedH835 are they that keepH8104 my waysH1870.

33HearH8085 instructionH4148, and be wiseH2449, and refuseH6544 it not.

34BlessedH835 is the manH120 that hearethH8085 me, watchingH8245 dailyH3117 at my gatesH1817, waitingH8104 at the postsH4201 of my doorsH6607.

35For whoso findethH4672 me findethH4672 lifeH2416, and shall obtainH6329 favourH7522 of YhwhH3068.4

36But he that sinnethH2398 against me wrongethH2554 his own soulH5315: all they that hateH8130 me loveH157 deathH4194.
