Proverbs 8:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 8:31

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.

34 ^aBlessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoever finds me finds life,
And ^aobtains favor from the Lord;

36 But he who sins against me ^awrongs his own soul;
All those who hate me love death.”
