nkjv Proverbs:8:23-36
nkjv@Proverbs:8:23 @ I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:24 @ When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:25 @ Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was brought forth;
nkjv@Proverbs:8:26 @ While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, Or the primal dust of the world.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:27 @ When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
nkjv@Proverbs:8:28 @ When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
nkjv@Proverbs:8:29 @ When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
nkjv@Proverbs:8:30 @ Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,
nkjv@Proverbs:8:31 @ Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:32 @ "Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:33 @ Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:34 @ Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.
nkjv@Proverbs:8:35 @ For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the LORD;
nkjv@Proverbs:8:36 @ But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; All those who hate me love death."
