Proverbs 8:22-31

LEB(i) 22 "Yahweh possessed* me, the first of his ways, before his acts of old.* 23 From eternity, I was set up from the first, from the beginning* of the earth. 24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no springs of abounding* water. 25 Before mountains had been shaped, before hills, I was brought forth. 26 When he had not yet made earth and fields, or the first dust of the world, 27 when he established* the heavens, there I was, when he drew* a circle upon the face of the deep, 28 when he made* skies from above, when he founded fountains of the deep, 29 when he assigned* his limits to the sea, that waters shall not transgress his command,* when he marked* the foundations of the earth, 30 I was beside* him, a master workman, and I was delighting day by day, rejoicing before him always,* 31 rejoicing in the world of his earth, and my delight was with the children of humankind.
