22The LORD made me as the beginning of His way, the first of His works of old.
23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth;
26While as yet He had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
27When He established the heavens, I was there; when He set a circle upon the face of the deep,
28When He made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the deep showed their might,
29When He gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not transgress His commandment, when He appointed the foundations of the earth;
30Then I was by Him, as a nursling; and I was daily all delight, playing always before Him,
31Playing in His habitable earth, and my delights are with the sons of men.
32Now therefore, ye children, hearken unto me; for happy are they that keep my ways.
33Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34Happy is the man that hearkeneth to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
36But he that misseth me wrongeth his own soul; all they that hate me love death.'
