Proverbs 8:29-36 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

29. when he encompassed the sea within its limits, and laid down a law for the waters, lest they transgress their limits; when he weighed the foundations of the earth.

30. I was with him in composing all things. And I was delighted, throughout every day, by playing in his sight at all times,

31. playing in globe of the earth. And my delight was to be with the sons of men.

32. Therefore, sons, hear me now. Blessed are those who preserve my ways.

33. Listen to discipline, and become wise, and do not be willing to cast it aside.

34. Blessed is the man who listens to me, and who stands watch at my gates everyday, and who observes at the posts of my doors.

35. He who finds me, finds life, and he will draw salvation from the Lord.

36. But he who sins against me will wound his own soul. All who hate me love death."
