27. I was there when he established the heavens,when he marked out the horizon on the deep sea,
28. when he thickened the clouds above,when he secured the fountains of the deep,
29. when he set a limit for the sea,so the water couldn’t go beyond his command,when he marked out the earth’s foundations.
30. I was beside him as a master of crafts.I was having fun,smiling before him all the time,
31. frolicking with his inhabited earthand delighting in the human race.
32. Now children, listen to me:Happy are those who keep to my ways!
33. Listen to instruction, and be wise;don’t avoid it.
34. Happy are those who listen to me,watching daily at my doors,waiting at my doorposts.
35. Those who find me find life;they gain favor from the Lord.
36. Those who offend meinjure themselves; all those who hate me love death.
