Proverbs 8:25-29 Ere the mountains were sunk in place, Before the hills, I was travailed,

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ Ere the mountains were sunk in place, Before the hills, I was travailed, ²⁶ When He had not yet made the earth and its open places, Or the beginnings of soil for the habitance." ²⁷ When He established the heavens I was there, When He delineated the horizon on the face of the abyss, ²⁸ When He made the sky clouds firm above, When He set the springs of the abyss with strength, ²⁹ When He established for the sea its statutory limit, So that the waters may not pass beyond His bidding, When He delineated the foundations of the earth."
