Proverbs 8:31-36

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³² “And now, my children, listen to me:
    happy are those who keep my ways.
³³ Hear instruction and be wise,
    and do not neglect it.
³⁴ Happy is the one who listens to me,
    watching daily at my gates,
    waiting beside my doors.
³⁵ For whoever finds me finds life
    and obtains favor from the Lord;
³⁶ but those who miss me injure themselves;
    all who hate me love death.”
