Proverbs 8:27-36 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

27. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he drew a circle upon the face of the depth:

28. When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29. When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his command: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30. Then I was by him, like a master workman: 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. Now therefore hearken unto me, O you children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

33. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34. Blessed is the man that hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35. For whosoever finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD.

36. But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
