27 When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he ordained the circle upon the face of the deep; When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the skies above, when the fountains of the deep became strong; when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29 when he imposed on the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth: when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 then I was by him [his] nursling, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights [were] with the sons of men. rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man. rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.
32 And now, sons, hearken unto me, and blessed are they that keep my ways: “And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways. “Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not. Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and obtaineth favour of Jehovah; For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD, For those who find me find life and receive favor from the LORD.
36 but he that sinneth against me doeth violence to his own soul: all they that hate me love death. but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.” But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.”
