I am crying out to you, O men; my voice comes to the sons of men. Become expert in reason, O you simple ones; you foolish ones, take training to heart. Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright. For good faith goes out of my mouth, and false lips are disgusting to me. All the words of my mouth are righteousness; there is nothing false or twisted in them. They are all true to him whose mind is awake, and straightforward to those who get knowledge.

The Lord made me as the start of his way, the first of his works in the past. From eternal days I was given my place, from the birth of time, before the earth was. When there was no deep I was given birth, when there were no fountains flowing with water. Before the mountains were put in their places, before the hills was my birth: When he had not made the earth or the fields or the dust of the world. When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep: When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed: When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth: Then I was by his side, as a master workman: and I was his delight from day to day, playing before him at all times; Playing in his earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.
