A Stroll Through Proverbs 8:32 – 8:36 “Diligently Seek Wisdom”

 Previous Verses: 27 “When he prepared [established] the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass [drew a circle] upon the face of the depth [deep]: 28 When he established the clouds [canopy of water vapor] above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: 29 When he gave to the sea his decree [its limit], that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; 31 Rejoicing in the habitable part [world] of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.”
