	CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
24	The abyss did not yet exist, and I was already conceived; neither had the fountains of waters yet erupted.	When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.	When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25	The mountains, with their great mass, had not yet been established. Before the hills, I was brought forth.	Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth,	before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,
26	Still he had not made the earth, and the rivers, and the poles of the globe of the earth.	before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world.	before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust 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;	When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,	I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28	when he made firm the sky above, and set free the fountains of waters;	when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,	when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
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.	when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,	when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
