Proverbs 8:21-26

²¹That I may cause those that love me to inherit a lasting possession; and their treasures will I fill

²²The Lord created me as the beginning of his way, the first of his works from the commencement,

²³From eternity was I appointed chief, from the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.

²⁴When there were yet no depths, was I brought forth; when there were yet no springs laden heavily with water.

²⁵Before the mountains were yet sunk down, before the hills was I brought forth:

²⁶While as yet he had not made the land and open fields, nor the chief of the dust of the world.
