22 “The(A) Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old.
23 (B)I have been established from everlasting,
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 (C)Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;
26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the [a]fields,
Or the [b]primal dust of the world.
27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 When He established the clouds above,
When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
29 (D)When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When (E)He marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 (F)Then I was beside Him as [c]a master craftsman;
(G)And I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,
31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And (H)my delight was with the sons of men.

32 “Now therefore, listen to me, my children,
For (I)blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.
34 (J)Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoever finds me finds life,
And (K)obtains favor from the Lord;
36 But he who sins against me (L)wrongs his own soul;
All those who hate me love death.”
