23 Fro with out bigynnyng Y was ordeined; and fro elde tymes, bifor that the erthe was maad.
24 Depthis of watris weren not yit; and Y was conseyued thanne. The wellis of watris hadden not brokun out yit,
25 and hillis stoden not togidere yit bi sad heuynesse; bifor litil hillis Y was born.
26 Yit he hadde not maad erthe; and floodis, and the herris of the world.
27 Whanne he made redi heuenes, Y was present; whanne he cumpasside the depthis of watris bi certeyn lawe and cumpas.
28 Whanne he made stidfast the eir aboue; and weiede the wellis of watris.
29 Whanne he cumpasside to the see his marke; and settide lawe to watris, that tho schulden not passe her coostis. Whanne he peiside the foundementis of erthe;
30 Y was making alle thingis with him. And Y delitide bi alle daies, and pleiede bifore hym in al tyme,
31 and Y pleiede in the world; and my delices ben to be with the sones of men.
32 Now therfor, sones, here ye me; blessid ben thei that kepen my weies.
33 Here ye teching, and be ye wise men; and nile ye caste it awei.
34 Blessid is the man that herith me, and that wakith at my yatis al dai; and kepith at the postis of my dore.
35 He that fyndith me, schal fynde lijf; and schal drawe helthe of the Lord.
36 But he that synneth ayens me, schal hurte his soule; alle that haten me, louen deeth.
