Proverbs 8:32

English Standard Version 2016

“And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways.

See the chapter Copy

But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways!

And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.

And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.

Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’

For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed.
