30 Then I was by Him, as a nursling; And I was daily all delight, Playing 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 Playing in His habitable earth, And my delights are 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 Now therefore, ye children, hearken unto me; For happy 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 Happy is the man that hearkeneth to 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 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 misseth me wrongeth 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.”
