Proverbs - ch 8 v 21 - 36
- that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasuries.
- Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
- I was set up from eternity, 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 prepared the heavens I was there; when he ordained the circle upon the face of the deep;
- when he established the skies above, when the fountains of the deep became strong;
- when he imposed on the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
- then I was by him his nursling, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
- rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights were with the sons of men.
- And now, sons, hearken unto me, and 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 obtaineth favour of Jehovah;
- but he that sinneth against me doeth violence to his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
