27. When he established the heavens, there was I,when he marked out the vault over the face of the deep;
28. When he made firm the skies above,when he fixed fast the springs of the deep;
29. When he set for the sea its limit,so that the waters should not transgress his command;When he fixed the foundations of earth,
30. then was I beside him as artisan; I was his delight day by day,playing before him all the while,
31. Playing over the whole of his earth,having my delight with human beings.
32. Now, children, listen to me;happy are they who keep my ways.
33. Listen to instruction and grow wise,do not reject it!
34. Happy the one who listens to me,attending daily at my gates,keeping watch at my doorposts;
35. For whoever finds me finds life,and wins favor from the Lord;
36. But those who pass me by do violence to themselves;all who hate me love death.”
