Proverbios 8:25 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 8:25

Before the mountains were settled
"Plunged" ^F12, or fixed in the earth; and which was done by the great strength of the Lord, upon their proper bases, ( Psalms 65:6 ) ; and which were "aborigine", or from the beginning of the world, and therefore called the ancient mountains, ( Deuteronomy 33:15 ) ; to be before the mountains is a periphrasis of eternity, and is a phrase expressive of God's eternity; and being here used of the Son's, shows his eternity is the same with his Father's, ( Psalms 90:2 ) ; before the hills was I brought forth;
which is repeated partly to show the importance of it; this being a matter of infinite moment and concern, and deserving of the strictest attention and observation; and partly to show the certainty of it; the eternal generation of Christ being an article of faith most surely to be believed.

26 no había aún hecho la tierra, ni las campiñas, ni el principio del polvo del mundo
