Proverbs 8:28-30
Common English Bible
28 when he thickened the clouds above,
when he secured the fountains of the deep,
29 when he set a limit for the sea,
so the water couldn’t go beyond his command,
when he marked out the earth’s foundations.
30 I was beside him as a master of crafts.[a]
I was having fun,
smiling before him all the time,
