30 I was right beside the Lord,helping him plan and build.I made him happy each day,and I was happy at his side.
31 I was pleased with his worldand pleased with its people.
32 Pay attention, my children!Follow my advice,and you will be happy.
33 Listen carefullyto my instructions,and you will be wise.
34 Come to my home each dayand listen to me.You will find happiness.
35 By finding me, you find life,and the Lord will be pleasedwith you.
36 But if you don't find me,you hurt only yourself,and if you hate me,you are in love with death.
