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.
34. Joyful are those who listen to me,watching for me daily at my gates,waiting for me outside my home!
35. For whoever finds me finds lifeand receives favor from the lord.
36. But those who miss me injure themselves.All who hate me love death.”
