Proverbs 8:24

When there were no depths - tehomoth , before the original chaotic mass was formed. See Genesis 1:2.

I was brought forth - cholalti , "I was produced as by laboring throes." Mr. Parkhurst thinks that the heathen poets derived their idea of Minerva' s (wisdom' s) being born of Jupiter' s brain, from some such high poetic personification as that in the text.
