Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Proverbs 8
²⁵ Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was brought forth;
²⁶ While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, Or the primeval dust of the world.
²⁷ When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
²⁸ When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
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,
³⁰ Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,
³¹ Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men.
³² "Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.
³³ Hear instruction and be wise, And do not disdain it.
³⁴ Blessed 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 obtains favor from the Lord;
