New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Proverbs 8
30 Then I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,
31 Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having my delight in the sons of men.
32 "Now therefore, O sons, listen to me, For blessed are they who keep my ways.
33 "Heed instruction and be wise, And do not neglect it.
34 "Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my doorposts.
35 "For he who finds me finds life And obtains favor from the Lord.
36 "But he who sins against me injures himself; All those who hate me love death."
Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars;
2 She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine; She has also set her table;
3 She has sent out her maidens, she calls From the tops of the heights of the city:
4 "Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks understanding she says,
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
