Proverbs 8:31 in Context — Proverbs 8
29 Lorsqu’il donna une limite à la mer, Pour que les eaux n’en franchissent pas les bords, Lorsqu’il posa les fondements de la terre,
30 J’étais à l’œuvre auprès de lui, Et je faisais tous les jours ses délices, Jouant sans cesse en sa présence,
31 Jouant sur le globe de sa terre, Et trouvant mon bonheur parmi les fils de l’homme.
32 Et maintenant, mes fils, écoutez-moi, Et heureux ceux qui observent mes voies!
33 Écoutez l’instruction, pour devenir sages, Ne la rejetez pas.
