Proverbs 8:23

Compare all

21 That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
That I may fill their treasuries.

22 “The^a Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old.

23 ^aI have been established from everlasting,
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.

24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 ^aBefore the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;

26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the¹ fields,
Or the¹ primal dust of the world.

27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,

28 When He established the clouds above,
When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,

29 ^aWhen He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When ^bHe marked out the foundations of the earth,
