Proverbs 8:27-32

New American Standard Bible

²⁷ When He ^(A)established the heavens, I was there;
When ^(B)He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
²⁸ When He made firm the skies above,
When the springs of the deep became ^[a]fixed,
²⁹ When ^(C)He set a boundary for the sea
So that the water would not violate His ^[b]command,
When He marked out ^(D)the foundations of the earth;
³⁰ Then ^(E)I was beside Him, as a master workman;
And I was His delight daily,
^[c]Rejoicing always before Him,
^31 [d]Rejoicing in the world, His earth,
And having ^(F)my delight in the sons of mankind.

³² “Now then, sons, ^(G)listen to me,
For ^(H)blessed are those who keep my ways.
