Proverbs 8:22-36

ECB(i) 22 Yah Veh chattelized me in the beginning of his way - in his ancient deeds. 23 I was libated from eternity - from the top - from the antiquity of the earth. 24 When there were no abysses, I was writhed; when there were no fountains heavy with water: 25 ere the mountains were sunk at the face of the hills, I was writhed: 26 while as yet he had neither worked the earth nor the outways nor the top of the dust of the world: 27 when he prepared the heavens, I was there; when he engraved a circle on the face of the abyss; 28 when he strengthened the vapours above; when he strengthened the eyes of the abyss; 29 when he set his statute to the sea, that the waters not pass his mouth; when he prescribed the foundations of the earth; 30 then I am beside him, as one brought up; and day by day I am his delight, at all times laughing by his face; 31 laughing in the world of his earth; and my delights are with the sons of humanity. 32 Now, O sons, hearken to me, for blithe - they who guard my ways; 33 hear discipline and enwisen and refuse it not: 34 Blithe - the human who hears me; guarding day by day at my gates; waiting at the posts of my portals. 35 For whoever finds me finds life and promotes the pleasure of Yah Veh: 36 and whoever sins against me violates his own soul; all who hate me love death.
