Proverbs, Chapter 8, verses 22-31

²²

“The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works^eof old.

²³

“From everlasting I was^festablished,
From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.

²⁴

“When there were no depths I was^gbrought forth,
When there were no springs abounding with water.

²⁵

“Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills I was^hbrought forth;

²⁶

While He had not yet made the earth and theⁱfields,
Nor the first dust of the world.

²⁷

“When He established the heavens, I was there,
When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,

²⁸

When He made firm the skies above,
When the springs of the deep became^jfixed,

²⁹

When He set for the sea its boundary
So that the water would not transgress His^kcommand,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth;

³⁰

Then I was beside Him, as a master workman;
And I was daily His delight,
^lRejoicing always before Him,

³¹

^mRejoicing in the world, His earth,
And having my delight in the sons of men.
