Proverbs 8:24-34
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
24
When there were no ocean depths, I was born,
When there were no springs abounding with water.
25
Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was born;
26
While He had not yet made the earth and the fields,
Nor the first dust of the world.
27
When He established the heavens, I was there;
When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
28
When He made firm the skies above,
When the springs of the deep became fixed,
29
When He set a boundary for the sea
So that the water would not violate His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth;
30
Then I was beside Him,
as
a master workman;
And I was
His
delight daily,
Rejoicing always before Him,
31
Rejoicing in the world, His earth,
And
having
my delight in the sons of mankind.
32
'Now then, sons, listen to me,
For blessed are those who keep my ways.
33
Listen to instruction and be wise,
And do not neglect
it.
34
Blessed is the person who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at my doorposts.
King James Version
Chapter 8
24
When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25
Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27
When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28
When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
24
I was born
when there were no watery depths
and no springs filled with water.
25
Before the mountains were established,
prior to the hills, I was given birth—
26
before he made the land, the fields,
or the first soil on earth.
27
I was there when he established the heavens,
when he laid out the horizon on the surface of the ocean,
28
when he placed the skies above,
when the fountains of the ocean gushed out,
29
when he set a limit for the sea
so that the waters would not violate his command,
when he laid out the foundations of the earth.
30
I was a skilled craftsman beside him.
I was his delight every day,
always rejoicing before him.
31
I was rejoicing in his inhabited world,
delighting in the children of Adam.
32
"And now, sons, listen to me;
those who keep my ways are happy.
33
Listen to instruction and be wise;
don’t ignore it.
34
Anyone who listens to me is happy,
watching at my doors every day,
waiting by the posts of my doorway.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
24
I was born before the oceans were created,
before the springs bubbled forth their waters.
25
Before the mountains were formed,
before the hills, I was born —
26
before he had made the earth and fields
and the first handfuls of soil.
27
I was there when he established the heavens,
when he drew the horizon on the oceans.
28
I was there when he set the clouds above,
when he established springs deep in the earth.
29
I was there when he set the limits of the seas,
so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.
And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,
30
I was the architect at his side.
I was his constant delight,
rejoicing always in his presence.
31
And how happy I was with the world he created;
how I rejoiced with the human family!
32
'And so, my children, listen to me,
for all who follow my ways are joyful.
33
Listen to my instruction and be wise.
Don’t ignore it.
34
Joyful are those who listen to me,
watching for me daily at my gates,
waiting for me outside my home!
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
24
When there were no depths I was brought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25
Before the mountains had been shaped,
before the hills, I was brought forth,
26
before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
27
When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28
when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep,
29
when he assigned to the sea its limit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30
then I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing before him always,
31
rejoicing in his inhabited world
and delighting in the children of man.
32
"And now, O sons, listen to me:
blessed are those who keep my ways.
33
Hear instruction and be wise,
and do not neglect it.
34
Blessed is the one who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting beside my doors.
New International Version
Chapter 8
24
When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25
before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was given birth,
26
before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.
27
I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28
when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29
when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30
Then I was constantly at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31
rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.
32
"Now then, my children, listen to me;
blessed are those who keep my ways.
33
Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not disregard it.
34
Blessed are those who listen to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
24
When
there were
no depths I was brought forth,
When
there were
no fountains abounding with water.
25
Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;
26
While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,
Or the 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
When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
30
Then I was beside Him
as
a master craftsman;
And I was daily
His
delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,
31
Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And my delight
was
with the sons of men.
32
“Now therefore, listen to me,
my
children,
For blessed
are those who
keep my ways.
33
Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain
it.
34
Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
