30 Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side, and His delight day by day, rejoicing always in His presence.

Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Listen to instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.
34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my doorway.
