Proverbs 8:22-23, 32-35

 

The LORD created me at the beginning of His way,

before His works of old.

From everlasting I was established,

from the beginning, before the earth began.

 

Now therefore, my children, listen to me,

for blessed are those who keep my ways.

Listen to instruction and be wise;

do not ignore it.

Blessed are those who listen to me,

watching daily at my doors,

waiting at the posts of my doorway.

For whoever finds me finds life

and obtains favor from the LORD.
