Verse
Proverbs - ch 8 v 21 - 36
- So that I may give my lovers wealth for their heritage, making their store-houses full.
- The Lord made me as the start of his way, the first of his works in the past.
- From eternal days I was given my place, from the birth of time, before the earth was.
- When there was no deep I was given birth, when there were no fountains flowing with water.
- Before the mountains were put in their places, before the hills was my birth:
- When he had not made the earth or the fields or the dust of the world.
- When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep:
- When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed:
- When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth:
- Then I was by his side, as a master workman: and I was his delight from day to day, playing before him at all times;
- Playing in his earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.
- Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.
- Take my teaching and be wise; do not let it go.
- Happy is the man who gives ear to me, watching at my doors day by day, keeping his place by the pillars of my house.
- For whoever gets me gets life, and grace from the Lord will come to him.
- But he who does evil to me, does wrong to his soul: all my haters are in love with death.
