Proverbs 8:28-36 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

28. when he made skies from above, when he founded fountains of the deep,

29. when he assigned his limits to the sea, that waters shall not transgress his command, when he marked the foundations of the earth,

30. I was beside him, a master workman, and I was delighting day by day, rejoicing before him always,

31. rejoicing in the world of his earth, and my delight was with the children of humankind.

32. “And now, children, listen to me; happy are those who will keep my ways.

33. Hear teaching and be wise; do not neglect it.

34. Happy is the person who listens to me, in order to keep watch at my doors day by day, in order to guard the frames of my entrances.

35. For he who finds me is he who finds life, and he obtains favor from Yahweh.

36. But he who misses me injures himself. All those who hate me love death.”
