Proverbs 8:30-36

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 amongst the children of men.

³²Now then, my son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall listen to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;

³³Hear wisdom and be wise, and be not strangers to it.

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.

³⁶But they that sin against me act wickedly against their own souls: and they that hate me love death.
