Proverbs 8:24-31
24When there were no 1depths I was 2brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.253Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I was 4brought forth;26While He had not yet made the earth and the 5fields, Nor the first dust of the world.27When He 6established the heavens, I was there, When 7He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,28When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became 8fixed,29When 9He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His 10command, When He marked out 11the foundations of the earth;30Then 12I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, 13Rejoicing always before Him,3114Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having 15my delight in the sons of men.
