Proverbs 8:21-33 New Living Translation (NLT)

21. Those who love me inherit wealth.I will fill their treasuries.

22. “The lord formed me from the beginning,before he created anything else.

23. I was appointed in ages past,at the very first, before the earth began.

24. I was born before the oceans were created,before the springs bubbled forth their waters.

25. Before the mountains were formed,before the hills, I was born—

26. before he had made the earth and fieldsand the first handfuls of soil.

27. I was there when he established the heavens,when he drew the horizon on the oceans.

28. I was there when he set the clouds above,when he established springs deep in the earth.

29. I was there when he set the limits of the seas,so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,

30. I was the architect at his side.I was his constant delight,rejoicing always in his presence.

31. And how happy I was with the world he created;how I rejoiced with the human family!

32. “And so, my children, listen to me,for all who follow my ways are joyful.

33. Listen to my instruction and be wise.Don’t ignore it.
