Proverbs 8:22-30
22“The Lord 1created me 2at the beginning of His way, Before His works 3of old.23From eternity I was 45established, From the beginning, 6from the earliest times of the earth.24When there were no 7ocean depths, I was born, When there were no springs abounding with water.258Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was born;26While He had not yet made the earth and the 9fields, Nor the first dust of the world.27When He 10established the heavens, I was there; When 11He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,28When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became 12fixed,29When 13He set a boundary for the sea So that the water would not violate His 14command, When He marked out 15the foundations of the earth;30Then 16I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was His delight daily, 17Rejoicing always before Him,
