Proverbs 8:30 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 8:30

28 When He established the clouds above,
When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,

29 ^aWhen He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When ^bHe marked out the foundations of the earth,

30 ^aThen I was beside Him as¹ a master craftsman;
^bAnd I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,

31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And ^amy delight was with the sons of men.

32 “Now therefore, listen to me, my children,
For ^ablessed are those who keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.
