Proverbs 8:30-32
1599 Geneva Bible
30 Then was I with him [a]as a nourisher, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him,
31 And took my [b]solace in the compass of [c]his earth: and my delight is with the children of men.
32 Therefore now hearken, O children, unto me: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
