Proverbs 8:33-36
New American Standard Bible
33 (A)Listen to instruction and be wise,
And do not neglect it.
34 (B)Blessed is the person who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at my doorposts.
35 For (C)one who finds me finds life,
And (D)obtains favor from the Lord.
36 But one who [a]sins against me (E)injures himself;
All those who (F)hate me (G)love death.”

Proverbs 8:33-36
New Living Translation
33 Listen to my instruction and be wise.
Don’t ignore it.
34 Joyful are those who listen to me,
watching for me daily at my gates,
waiting for me outside my home!
35 For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the Lord.
36 But those who miss me injure themselves.
All who hate me love death.”
