Proverbs - ch 8 v 21 - 36

  1. So that I may give my lovers wealth for their heritage, making their store-houses full.
  2. The Lord made me as the start of his way, the first of his works in the past.
  3. From eternal days I was given my place, from the birth of time, before the earth was.
  4. When there was no deep I was given birth, when there were no fountains flowing with water.
  5. Before the mountains were put in their places, before the hills was my birth:
  6. When he had not made the earth or the fields or the dust of the world.
  7. When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep:
  8. When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed:
  9. 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:
  10. 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;
  11. Playing in his earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.
  12. Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.
  13. Take my teaching and be wise; do not let it go.
  14. 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.
  15. For whoever gets me gets life, and grace from the Lord will come to him.
  16. But he who does evil to me, does wrong to his soul: all my haters are in love with death.
