Proverbs [Sayings] 8:30-36

³⁰then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,

³¹Rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.

³²“Now therefore, my sons, sh'ma ·hear obey· unto me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.

³³Sh'ma ·Hear obey· instruction, and be wise. Don’t refuse it.

³⁴Blessed is the man who sh'ma ·hears obeys· me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.

³⁵For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from Adonai .

³⁶But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me 'ahav ·affectionately love· death.”
