Proverbs 8:24-29 ▼

24 When there were no ocean depths, I brought them to birth at a time when there were no springs.

25 Before the mountains were shaped, before there were hills, I was bringing them to birth.

26 Even though he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the world's first grains of dust,

27 when he crafted the heavens, I was there— when he marked out a circle on the face of the deep,

28 when he made the clouds from above, when the springs of the depths were established,

29 when he set a boundary for the sea so the waters would not exceed his limits, when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
