Proverbs 8:22-36

22The LORDH3068 possessedH7069 meH7069 in the beginningH7225 of his wayH1870, beforeH227 his works of old. 23I was set up from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH5769 the earthH776 was. 24When there were noH369 depthsH8415, I was brought forth; when there were noH369 fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325. 25BeforeH6440 the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forth: 26WhileH5704 as yet he had notH3808 madeH6213 the earthH776, norH3808 the fieldsH2351, norH3808 the beginningH7218 of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398. 27When he establishedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH3559 a circleH2329 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the deepH8415: 28When he madeH553 firmH553 the sides aboveH4605: when the fountainsH5869 of the deepH8415 becameH5810 strongH553: 29When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 itsH7760 bound, that the watersH4325 should notH3808 transgressH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he markedH2710 outH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776: 30Then I was by him, as a masterH525 workmanH525: and I was dailyH3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH3117 beforeH6440 him; 31RejoicingH7832 in his habitable earthH776; and my delightH8191 was with the sonsH1121 of menH120. 32NowH6258 therefore, my sonsH1121, hearken unto meH8104: for blessedH835 are they that keepH8104 my waysH1870. 33HearH8085 instructionH4148, and be wiseH2449, and refuse it notH408. 34BlessedH835 is the manH120 that heareth meH5921, watchingH8245 dailyH3117 at my gatesH1817, waitingH8104 at the postsH4201 of my doorsH1817. 35For whoso findeth meH4672 findeth lifeH2416, and shall obtainH6329 favour of the LORDH3068. 36But he that sinneth againstH2398 meH5315 wrongeth his ownH5315 soulH5315: allH3605 they that hateH8130 meH5315 loveH157 deathH4194.
