Proverbs 8:32

New King James Version

“Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.

See the chapter Copy

But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways.

Therefore hear me now, my children, And do not depart from the words of my mouth.

Now therefore, listen to me, my children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth:

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

Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.’

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

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.

She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.
