Proverbs 8:22-30

22The Lord created me as the beginning of his works, before his deeds of long ago.

23From eternity I was appointed, from the beginning, from before the world existed.

24When there were no deep oceans I was born, when there were no springs overflowing with water;

25before the mountains were set in place – before the hills – I was born,

26before he made the earth and its fields, or the beginning of the dust of the world.

27When he established the heavens, I was there; when he marked out the horizon over the face of the deep,

28when he established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep grew strong,

29when he gave the sea his decree that the waters should not pass over his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

30then I was beside him as a master craftsman, and I was his delight day by day, rejoicing before him at all times,
