Proverbs 8:24-29

Christian Standard Bible

²⁴ I was born
when there were no watery depths^(A)
and no springs filled with water.
²⁵ Before the mountains were established,
prior to the hills,^(B) I was given birth—
²⁶ before he made the land, the fields,
or the first soil on earth.
²⁷ I was there when he established the heavens,^(C)
when he laid out the horizon on the surface of the ocean,^(D)
28 when he placed the skies above,
when the fountains of the ocean gushed out,
²⁹ when he set a limit for the sea
so that the waters would not violate his command,^(E)
when he laid out the foundations of the earth.^(F)
