30     Then I was constantly[a] at his side.(A)
I was filled with delight day after day,
    rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
    and delighting in mankind.(B)

32 “Now then, my children, listen(C) to me;
    blessed are(D) those who keep my ways.(E)
33 Listen to my instruction and be wise;
    do not disregard it.
34 Blessed are those who listen(F) to me,
    watching daily at my doors,
    waiting at my doorway.
35 For those who find me(G) find life(H)
    and receive favor from the Lord.(I)
36 But those who fail to find me harm themselves;(J)
    all who hate me love death.”(K)
