Daily Bible GNT September 6 Verses

²²"The LORD created me first of all,

the first of his works, long ago.

²³I was made in the very beginning,

at the first, before the world began.

²⁴I was born before the oceans,

when there were no springs of water.

²⁵I was born before the mountains,

before the hills were set in place,

²⁶before God made the earth and its fields
or even the first handful of soil.

²⁷I was there when he set the sky in place,

when he stretched the horizon across the ocean,

²⁸when he placed the clouds in theTnbsp;sky,

when he opened the springs of the ocean

²⁹and ordered the waters of the sea

to rise no further than he said.

I was there when he laid the earth's foundations.

³⁰I was beside him like an architect,

I was his daily source of joy,

always happy in his presence--

³¹happy with the world

and pleased with the human race.

³²"Now, young people, listen to me.

Do as I say, and you will be happy.

³³Listen to what you are taught.

Be wise; do not neglect it.

³⁴Those who listen to me will be happy--

those who stay at my door every day,

waiting at the entrance to my home.

³⁵Those who find me find life,

and the LORD will be pleased with them.

³⁶Those who do not find me hurt themselves;

anyone who hates me loves death."
