26 before he had made the earth and fieldsand the first handfuls of soil.
27 I was there when he established the heavens,when he drew the horizon on the oceans.
28 I was there when he set the clouds above,when he established springs deep in the earth.
29 I was there when he set the limits of the seas,so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,
30 I was the architect at his side.I was his constant delight,rejoicing always in his presence.
31 And how happy I was with the world he created;how I rejoiced with the human family!
32 “And so, my children, listen to me,for all who follow my ways are joyful.
