22 Jehovah set me up the beginning of his way, before his works from ancient time. 23 From forever I was knit together, from the beginning, from the first of the earth. 24 In no depths was I begun; in no fountains abundant in waters. 25 Before the mountains were settled; before the hills I had a beginning: 26 Yet he made not the earth and the fields, and the head of the clods of the habitable globe. 27 In his preparing the heavens I was there: in his inscribing a circle upon the face of the deep: 28 In his making firm the clouds from above: in his strengthening the fountains of the deep: 29 In his setting his law to the sea, and the waters shall not pass by his mouth; in his making firm the foundations of the earth: 30 And I shall be near him the builder, and I shall be a delight of day, day, smiling before him in all time. 31 Smiling in the habitable globe of his earth; and my delight with the sons of man.
