Happy Is The Man Who Seeks Wisdom (Proverbs 8:22-23 & 32-36) Living Bible & Good News Translations

LIVING BIBLE TRANSLATION
PROVERBS 8:22-23
22  The Lord formed me in the beginning, before he created anything else.
23  From ages past, I am. I existed before the earth began. 
PROVERBS 8:32-36
32  And so, young men, listen to me, for how happy are all who follow my instructions.
33  “Listen to my counsel—oh, don’t refuse it—and be wise. 
34  Happy is the man who is so anxious to be with me that he watches for me daily at my gates, or waits for me outside my home! 
35  For whoever finds me finds life and wins approval from the Lord. 
36  But the one who misses me has injured himself irreparably. Those who refuse me show that they love death.”

GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
PROVERBS 8:22-23
22  “The Lord created me first of all, the first of his works, long ago.
23  I was made in the very beginning, at the first, before the world began.
PROVERBS 8:32-36
32  “Now, young people, listen to me.  Do as I say, and you will be happy.
33  Listen to what you are taught.  Be wise; do not neglect it.
34  Those who listen to me will be happy—those who stay at my door every day, waiting at the entrance to my home.
35  Those who find me find life, and the Lord will be pleased with them.
36  Those who do not find me hurt themselves; anyone who hates me loves death.”
