Proverbs 8:34
Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.
In context
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; And my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: For blessed are they that keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not. 34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors. 35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, And shall obtain favour of the LORD. 36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.
