Proverbs 8:24-32

²⁴The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived. neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out:

²⁵The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth:

²⁶He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.

²⁷When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths:

²⁸When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:

²⁹When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when be balanced the foundations of the earth;

³⁰I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times;

³¹Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.

³²Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways.
