Proverbs 8:29-36

²⁹when he imposed on the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

³⁰then I was by him his nursling, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

³¹rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights were with the sons of men.

³²And now, sons, hearken unto me, and blessed are they that keep my ways:

³³hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.

³⁴Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

³⁵For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of Jehovah;

³⁶but he that sinneth against me doeth violence to his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
