Proverbs 8:22-31

²² Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old. ²³ I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was. ²⁴ When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water. ²⁵ Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth; ²⁶ While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world. ²⁷ When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep, ²⁸ When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong, ²⁹ When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth; ³⁰ Then I was by him, [as] a master workman; And I was daily [his] delight, Rejoicing always before him, ³¹ Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men.
