26 Still he had not made the earth, and the rivers, and the poles of the globe of the earth.
27 I was already present: when he prepared the heavens; when, with a certain law and a circuit, he fortified the abyss;
28 when he made firm the sky above, and set free the fountains of waters;
29 when he encompassed the sea within its limits, and laid down a law for the waters, lest they transgress their limits; when he weighed the foundations of the earth.
30 I was with him in composing all things. And I was delighted, throughout every day, by playing in his sight at all times,
31 playing in globe of the earth. And my delight was to be with the sons of men.
32 Therefore, sons, hear me now. Blessed are those who preserve my ways.
