3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:
To [the] side of [the] gates to [the] opening of [the] town [the] entrance of [the] doorways they cry aloud.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of men.

22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
Until not he had made [the] earth and [the] open places and [the] first of [the] dusts of [the] world.
27 When he established the heavens, I was there: when he set a circle upon the face of the deep:
When established he [the] heavens [was] there I when marked out he a circle on [the] surface of [the] deep.
28 When he made firm the sides above: when the fountains of the deep became strong:
When made firm he [the] clouds above when became strong [the] springs of [the] deep.
29 When he gave to the sea its bound, that the waters should not transgress his commandment: when he marked out the foundations of the earth:
When set he for the sea - limit its and [the] waters not they will transgress mouth his when marked out he [the] foundations of [the] earth.
30 Then I was by him, [as] a master workman: and I was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him;
And I was beside him an artisan and I was delight day - day playing before him at every time.
31 Rejoicing in his habitable earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.

32 Now therefore, [my] sons, hearken unto me: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Listen to correction and act wisely and may not you neglect [it].
