Proverbs 8:22-31

YLT

NIV

22 Jehovah possessed me -- the beginning of His way, Before His works since then.
22 “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,before his deeds of old;
23 From the age I was anointed, from the first, From former states of the earth.
23 I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24 In there being no depths, I was brought forth, In there being no fountains heavy [with] waters,
24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25 Before mountains were sunk, Before heights, I was brought forth.
25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth,
26 While He had not made the earth, and out-places, And the top of the dusts of the world.
26 before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth.
27 In His preparing the heavens I [am] there, In His decreeing a circle on the face of the deep,
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28 In His strengthening clouds above, In His making strong fountains of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29 In His setting for the sea its limit, And the waters transgress not His command, In His decreeing the foundations of earth,
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 am near Him, a workman, And I am a delight -- day by day. Rejoicing before Him at all times,
30 Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth, And my delights [are] with the sons of men.
31 rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind.
