Proverbs 8:22-31

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

22 The LORD created me at the beginning of his way, before his deeds long in the past.

23 I was formed in ancient times, at the beginning, before the earth was.

24 When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth, when there were no springs flowing with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth;

26 before God made the earth and the fields or the first of the dry land.

27 I was there when he established the heavens, when he marked out the horizon on the deep sea,

28 when he thickened the clouds above, when he secured the fountains of the deep,

29 when he set a limit for the sea, so the water couldn't go beyond his command, when he marked out the earth's foundations.

30 I was beside him as a master of crafts. I was having fun, smiling before him all the time,

31 frolicking with his inhabited earth and delighting in the human race.

New International Version NIV

22 “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,before his deeds of old;

23 I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.

24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water;

25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,

26 before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth.

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

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

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

30 Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,

31 rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.
