And God said to them, aa“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “ Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. And ylet them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”Ģ7 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him z male and female he created them.Ģ8 And God blessed them. 36 But the one who ignores me harms himself, * And those who hate me love death.▼The Hebrew word for man ( adam) is the generic term for mankind and becomes the proper name Adam in our image, xafter our likeness. 34 Happy is the man who listens to me By coming early to * my doors day by day, By waiting next to my doorposts 35 For the one finding me will find life, + And he receives approval from Jehovah. 33 Listen to discipline + and become wise, And never neglect it. * 32 And now, my sons, listen to me Yes, happy are those who keep my ways. + I was the one he was especially fond of + day by day I rejoiced before him all the time + 31 I rejoiced over his habitable earth, And I was especially fond of the sons of men. 27 When he prepared the heavens, + I was there When he marked out the horizon * on the surface of the waters, + 28 When he established * the clouds above, When he founded the fountains of the deep, 29 When he set a decree for the sea That its waters should not pass beyond his order, + When he established * the foundations of the earth, 30 Then I was beside him as a master worker. 25 Before the mountains were set in place, Before the hills, I was brought forth, 26 When he had not yet made the earth and its fields Or the first clods of earth’s soil. + 24 When there were no deep waters, + I was brought forth, * When there were no springs overflowing with water. + 23 From ancient times * I was installed, + From the start, from times earlier than the earth. The city is safe as long as the sentinel is doing his job of watching and waiting. 22 Jehovah produced me as the beginning of his way, + The earliest of his achievements of long ago. Watching and waiting of a sentinel means SAFETY. + 20 I walk in the path of righteousness, In the middle of the pathways of justice 21 I give a rich inheritance to those who love me, And I fill up their storehouses. 19 My fruitage is better than gold, even refined gold, And what I produce is better than the finest silver. + 18 Riches and glory are with me, Lasting wealth * and righteousness. 17 I love those loving me, And those seeking me will find me. + 16 By me princes keep ruling, And nobles judge in righteousness. 15 By me kings keep reigning, And high officials decree righteousness. + 14 I possess good advice and practical wisdom + Understanding + and power + are mine. + I hate self-exaltation and pride + and the evil way and perverse speech. + 13 The fear of Jehovah means the hating of bad. 12 I, wisdom, dwell together with shrewdness I have found knowledge and thinking ability. 10 Take my discipline instead of silver, And knowledge rather than the finest gold, + 11 For wisdom is better than corals * All other desirable things cannot compare to it. 9 They are all straightforward to the discerning And right to those who have found knowledge. 8 All the sayings of my mouth are righteous. * 6 Listen, for what I say is important, My lips speak what is right 7 For my mouth softly utters truth, And my lips detest what is wicked. * 5 You inexperienced ones, learn shrewdness + You stupid ones, acquire an understanding heart. 3 Next to the gates leading into the city, At the entrances of the doorways, It keeps crying out loudly: + 4 “To you, O people, I am calling I raise my voice to everyone. 18 Riches and honour are with me yea, durable riches and righteousness. To hate all sin, as displeasing to God and destructive to the soul: The fear of the Lord is to hate evil, the evil way, to hate sin as sin, and therefore to. 17 I love them that love me and those that seek me early shall find me. 16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. 15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 8 Is not wisdom calling out? Is not discernment raising its voice? + 2 On the heights + along the road, It takes its position at the crossroads. 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding I have strength.
