Proverbs 8:29-31
New King James Version
29 (A)When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When (B)He marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 (C)Then I was beside Him as [a]a master craftsman;
(D)And I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,
31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And (E)my delight was with the sons of men.
