28. When he made firm the sides above: when the fountains of the deep became strong:
29. When he gave to the sea its bound, that the waters should not transgress his commandment: when he marked out the foundations of the earth:
30. Then I was by him, as a master workman: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31. Rejoicing in his habitable earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.
32. Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
36. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
