Proverbs 8:26-31

²⁶while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

²⁷When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,

²⁸when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,

²⁹when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

³⁰then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,

³¹rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
