Verse
Proverbs - ch 8 v 21 - 36
- To cause my lovers to inherit substance, Yea, their treasures I fill.
- Jehovah possessed me -- the beginning of His way, Before His works since then.
- From the age I was anointed, from the first, From former states of the earth.
- In there being no depths, I was brought forth, In there being no fountains heavy `with' waters,
- Before mountains were sunk, Before heights, I was brought forth.
- While He had not made the earth, and out-places, And the top of the dusts of the world.
- In His preparing the heavens I `am' there, In His decreeing a circle on the face of the deep,
- In His strengthening clouds above, In His making strong fountains of the deep,
- In His setting for the sea its limit, And the waters transgress not His command, In His decreeing the foundations of earth,
- Then I am near Him, a workman, And I am a delight -- day by day. Rejoicing before Him at all times,
- Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth, And my delights `are' with the sons of men.
- And now, ye sons, hearken to me, Yea, happy are they who keep my ways.
- Hear instruction, and be wise, and slight not.
- O the happiness of the man hearkening to me, To watch at my doors day by day, To watch at the door-posts of my entrance.
- For whoso is finding me, hath found life, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.
- And whoso is missing me, is wronging his soul, All hating me have loved death!
