Proverbs 8:22-31

Common English Bible CEB

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 Revised Standard NRS

22 The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago.

23 Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth.

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

25 Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth—

26 when he had not yet made earth and fields, or the world's first bits of soil.

27 When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,

28 when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,

29 when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

30 then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always,

31 rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the human race.
