Proverbs 8:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 8:26

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,

30 ^aThen I was beside Him as¹ a master craftsman;
^bAnd I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,

31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And ^amy delight was with the sons of men.

32 “Now therefore, listen to me, my children,
For ^ablessed are those who keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.

34 ^aBlessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
