Verse
Proverbs - ch 8 v 21 - 36
- That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures.
- The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning.
- I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made.
- The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived. neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out:
- The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth:
- He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.
- When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths:
- When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:
- When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when be balanced the foundations of the earth;
- I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times;
- Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.
- Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways.
- Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
- Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors.
- He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord:
- But he that shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All that hate me love death.
