Proverbs 8:32

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

“And now, my children, listen to me: happy are those who keep my ways.

See the chapter Copy

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

Happy is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.

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

And now, my children, 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.

Happy are those who find wisdom and those who get understanding,

Where there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint, but happy are those who keep the law.

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