Proverbs 8:24-31
24When there were no 1ocean depths, I was born, When there were no springs abounding with water.252Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was born;26While He had not yet made the earth and the 3fields, Nor the first dust of the world.27When He 4established the heavens, I was there; When 5He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,28When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became 6fixed,29When 7He set a boundary for the sea So that the water would not violate His 8command, When He marked out 9the foundations of the earth;30Then 10I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was His delight daily, 11Rejoicing always before Him,3112Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having 13my delight in the sons of mankind.
