Proverbs
Chapters 8:22-28
New International Version Anglicized
22‘The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old;
23I was formed long ages ago,at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25before the mountains were settled in place,before the hills, I was given birth,
26before he made the world or its fieldsor any of the dust of the earth.
27I was there when he set the heavens in place,when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28when he established the clouds aboveand fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
