Verse
Proverbs - ch 8 v 21 - 36
- That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.
- Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.
- I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.
- When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.
- Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth;
- While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
- When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,
- When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,
- When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;
- Then I was by him, `as' a master workman; And I was daily `his' delight, Rejoicing always before him,
- Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men.
- Now therefore, `my' sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.
- Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not.
- Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.
- For whoso findeth me findeth life, And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.
- But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.
