Proverbs

²⁹I was there when he set the limits on the sea to make it stop where he said. I was there when he laid the foundations of the earth. ³⁰I grew up as a child by his side, laughing and playing all the time. ³¹I played in the world he made and enjoyed the people he put there. ³²“Now, children, listen to me. If you follow my ways, you will be happy too. ³³Listen to my teaching and be wise; don’t ignore what I say. ³⁴Whoever waits at my door and listens for me will be blessed. ³⁵Those who find me find life, and the Lord will reward them.
