Proverbs 8:22-31
22Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his wayH1870,Before his works of old.23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,Before the earthH776 was.24When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forth,When there were no fountains abounding with waterH4325.25Before the mountainsH2022 were settled,Before the hillsH1389 was I brought forth;26While as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fields,Nor the beginning of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398.27When he establishedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there:When he set a circleH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the deepH8415,28When he madeH553 firmH553 the skies above,When the fountains of the deepH8415 became strongH553,29When he gave to the seaH3220 its bound,That the watersH4325 should not transgressH5674 his commandment,When he markedH2710 out the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776;30Then I wasH1961 by him, asa master workman;And I wasH1961 dailyhisdelightH8191,Rejoicing always before him,31Rejoicing in his habitable earthH776;And my delightH8191 was with the sonsH1121 of menH120.
