Proverbs 8: 22 - 31
|
| 22
|
The LORD created 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 sons of men.
