Daily Bible CEV September 6 Verses

²²From the beginning, I was with the LORD.

I was there before he began ²³to create the earth.

At the very first, the LORD gave life to me.

²⁴When I was born,

there were no oceans or springs of water.

²⁵My birth was before mountains were formed

or hills were put in place.

²⁶It happened long before God had made the earth

or any of its fields or even the dust.

²⁷I was there when the LORD put the heavens in place

and stretched the sky over the surface of the sea.

²⁸I was with him when he placed the clouds in the sky

and created the springs that fill the ocean.

²⁹I was there when he set boundaries for the sea

to make it obey him,

and when he laid foundations to support the earth.

³⁰I was right beside the LORD,

helping him plan and build.

I made him happy each day, and I was happy at his side.

³¹

I was pleased with his world and pleased with its people.

³²Pay attention, my children!

Follow my advice, and you will be happy.

³³Listen carefully to my instructions, and you will be wise.

³⁴Come to my home each day and listen to me.

You will find happiness.

³⁵By finding me, you find life,

and the LORD will be pleased with you.

³⁶But if you don't find me, you hurt only yourself,

and if you hate me, you are in love with death.
