Proverbs

²⁸When he made firm the sides above: when the fountains of the deep became strong: ²⁹When he gave to the sea its bound, that the waters should not transgress his commandment: when he marked out the foundations of the earth: ³⁰Then I was by him, as a master workman: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; ³¹Rejoicing in his habitable earth; and my delight was with the sons of men. ³²Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me: for 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.
