I made him happy day after day, I rejoiced in front of him all the time, | 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 | found joy in his inhabited world, and delighted in the human race. | rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man. | rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind. | |
| 32 | |Now, sons, listen to me. Blessed are those who follow 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 | Listen to discipline, and become wise. Do not leave my ways. | 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 person who listens to me, watches at my door day after day, and waits by my doorposts. | 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 | Whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor 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. | |
