26The Lord made countries and uninhabited tracts, and the highest inhabited parts of the world.
27When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:
28and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:
29and when he strengthened the foundations of the earth:
30I was by him, suiting myself to him, I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.
31For he rejoiced when he had completed the world, and rejoiced among the children of men.
32Now then, my son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall hearken to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;
34watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my entrances.
35For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, and in them is prepared favour from the Lord.
