Proverbs 8:22-31

    [22] “The LORD possessed me at the beginning of his work,

        the first of his acts of old. 

    [23] Ages ago I was set up,

        at the first, before the beginning of the earth. 

    [24] When there were no depths I was brought forth,

        when there were no springs abounding with water. 

    [25] Before the mountains had been shaped,

        before the hills, I was brought forth, 

    [26] before he had made the earth with its fields,

        or the first of the dust of the world. 

    [27] When he established the heavens, I was there;

        when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, 

    [28] when he made firm the skies above,

        when he established the fountains of the deep, 

    [29] when he assigned to the sea its limit,

        so that the waters might not transgress his command,

    when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 

    [30]     then I was beside him, like a master workman,

    and I was daily his delight,

        rejoicing before him always, 

    [31] rejoicing in his inhabited world

        and delighting in the children of man.
