Proverbs 8:33 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 8.
29 when He set a boundary for the sea, so that the waters would not surpass His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side, and His delight day by day, rejoicing always in His presence.
31 I was rejoicing in His whole world, delighting together in the sons of men.
32 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.

36 But he who fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.”
