	ERV English Revised Version	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
24	When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.	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	Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I 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	While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.	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	When he established the heavens, I was there: when he set a circle upon the face of the deep:	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 sides above: when the fountains of the deep became strong:	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 gave to the sea its bound, that the waters should not transgress his commandment: when he marked out 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.
