* I was set up from everlasting , from the beginning ro #sh #, or ever the earth was . * When there were no depths , I was brought forth ; when there were no fountains abounding with water . * Before the mountains were settled , before the hills was I brought forth : * While as yet he had not made the earth , nor the fields , nor the highest part of the dust of the world . * When he prepared the heavens , I was there : when he set a compass upon the face of the depth : * When he established the clouds above ma #al #: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep : * When he gave to the sea his decree , that the waters should not pass his commandment : when he appointed the foundations of the earth : * Then I was by him , as one brought up with him : and I was daily yowm # his delight , rejoicing always before him ; * Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth ; and my delights were with the sons of men . * Now therefore hearken unto me , O ye children : for blessed are they that keep my ways . * Hear instruction , and be wise , and refuse it not . * Blessed is the man that heareth me , watching daily yowm # at my gates , waiting at the posts of my doors . * For whoso findeth me findeth (8675 ) life , and shall obtain favour of the LORD . * But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul : all they that hate me love death .
