10 And,

(A)“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up,
    like a garment they will be changed.[a]
But you are (B)the same,
    and your years will have no end.”

For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. (For every house is built by someone, but (A)the builder of all things is God.)

23 Ages ago I was (A)set up,
    at the first, (B)before the beginning of the earth.
24 When there were no (C)depths I was (D)brought forth,
    when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains (E)had been shaped,
    (F)before the hills, I was brought forth,
26 before he had made the earth with its fields,
    or the first of the dust of the world.
27 When he (G)established the heavens, I was there;
    when he drew (H)a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when he (I)made firm the skies above,
    when he established[a] the fountains of the deep,
29 when he (J)assigned to the sea its (K)limit,
    so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out (L)the foundations of the earth,
30     then (M)I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his[b] (N)delight,
    rejoicing before him always,
31 (O)rejoicing in his (P)inhabited world
    and delighting in the children of man.

32 “And now, (Q)O sons, listen to me:
    (R)blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 (S)Hear instruction and be wise,
    and do not neglect it.
34 (T)Blessed is the one who listens to me,
    watching daily at my gates,
    waiting beside my doors.
35 For (U)whoever finds me (V)finds life
    and (W)obtains favor from the Lord,
36 but he who fails to find me (X)injures himself;
    all who (Y)hate me (Z)love death.”

“Where were you when I (A)laid the foundation of the earth?
    Tell me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
    Or who stretched the line upon it?
On what were its bases sunk,
    or who laid its cornerstone,
when the morning stars (B)sang together
    and all (C)the sons of God (D)shouted for joy?
