| 30 | I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times; | 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 | Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men. | rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man. | rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind. | |
| 32 | Now therefore, ye children, hear me: 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, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth 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 | He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord: | 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 shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All 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.” | |
