Proverbs 8:32-36

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³² And now, my sons, 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 man who listens to me,
    watching daily at my gates,
    waiting beside my doors.
³⁵ For he who finds me finds life
    and obtains favor from the Lord;
³⁶ but he who misses me injures himself;
    all who hate me love death.”
