Proverbs 8:24-29

^{Tools
24}

I was born
when there were no watery depths^(A)
and no springs filled with water.

^{Tools
25}

I was delivered
before the mountains and hills were established,^(B)

^{Tools
26}

before He made the land, the fields,
or the first soil on earth.

^{Tools
27}

I was there when He established the heavens,^(C)
when He laid out the horizon on the surface of the ocean,^(D)

^{Tools
28}

when He placed the skies above,
when the fountains of the ocean gushed out,

^{Tools
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)
