Proverbs 8:27-32

English Standard Version

²⁷ When he ^(A)established the heavens, I was there;
    when he drew ^(B)a circle on the face of the deep,
²⁸ when he ^(C)made firm the skies above,
    when he established^[a] the fountains of the deep,
²⁹ when he ^(D)assigned to the sea its ^(E)limit,
    so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out ^(F)the foundations of the earth,
³⁰     then ^(G)I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his^{[b] (H)}delight,
    rejoicing before him always,
^31 (I)rejoicing in his ^(J)inhabited world
    and delighting in the children of man.
