Proverbs 8:23-36
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 Ages ago I was set up,
at the first, before the beginning of the earth.(A)
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains had been shaped,
before the hills, I was brought forth,(B)
26 when he had not yet made earth and fields[a]
or the world’s first bits of soil.
27 When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,(C)
28 when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep,
29 when he assigned to the sea its limit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,(D)
30 then I was beside him, like a master worker,[b]
and I was daily his[c] delight,
playing before him always,(E)
31 playing in his inhabited world
and delighting in the human race.(F)
32 “And now, my children, listen to me:
happy are those who keep my ways.(G)
33 Hear instruction and be wise,
and do not neglect it.
34 Happy is the one who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting beside my doors.(H)
35 For whoever finds me finds life
and obtains favor from the Lord,(I)
36 but those who miss me injure themselves;
all who hate me love death.”(J)
Psalm 96:5

5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.(A)
5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone(B)
7 when the morning stars sang together
and all the heavenly beings[a] shouted for joy?(C)
