29. when he imposed on the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30. then I was by him his nursling, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31. rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights were with the sons of men.
32. And now, sons, hearken unto me, and blessed are they that keep my ways:
33. hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
34. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of Jehovah;
36. but he that sinneth against me doeth violence to his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
