Proverbs 8:27-33

27I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

28when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,

29when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

30Then I was constantly Or was the artisan; or was a little child at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,

31rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.

32“Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.

33Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it.
