Verse
Proverbs - ch 8 v 21 - 36
- That I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.
- "Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old.
- I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.
- When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.
- Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was 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 on the surface of the deep,
- when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,
- when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth;
- then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,
- Rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
- "Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
- Hear instruction, and be wise. Don't refuse it.
- Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.
- For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.
- But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death."
