Proverbs 8:26-35

²⁶Yet he had not made the earth; and floods, and the earths of the world. (He had not yet made the earth; and the rivers, and the dust of the world.)

²⁷When he made ready heavens, I was present, (or When he prepared the heavens, I was there); (and) when he compassed, or (en)closed, the depths of (the) waters by certain law and compass.

²⁸When he made steadfast the air above; and weighed the wells of waters (or and set in place the water wells).

²⁹When he compassed to the sea his mark (or When he set the boundaries for the seas); and setted law to (the) waters, that they should not pass their coasts. When he weighed the foundaments of the earth;

³⁰I was making all (these) things with him. And I delighted by all days, and played before him in all time,

³¹and I played in the world; and my delights be to be with the sons of men (or and my delight is to be with the sons and daughters of men).

³²Now, therefore, sons, hear ye me; blessed be they that keep my ways. (And so now, sons and daughters, listen ye to me; blessed be those who follow my ways.)

³³Hear ye teaching, and be ye wise men; and do not ye cast it away. (Listen ye to my teaching, and be ye wise; and do not ye throw it away.)

³⁴Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth at my gates all day, (or Happy is the person who listeneth to me, and who standeth watch at my gates all day long); and keepeth (guard) at the posts of my doors.

³⁵He that findeth me, shall find life; and he shall draw health of the Lord. (He who findeth me, shall find life; and he shall obtain favour from the Lord.)
