Proverbs 8:32-36 English Standard Version
32 “And now, (A)O sons, listen to me:
(B)blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 (C)Hear instruction and be wise,
and do not neglect it.
34 (D)Blessed is the one who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting beside my doors.
35 For (E)whoever finds me (F)finds life
and (G)obtains favor from the Lord,
36 but he who fails to find me (H)injures himself;
all who (I)hate me (J)love death.”
