Proverbs 8:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ It happened before the Lord made the world and its fields.
    It was before he made the dust of the earth.
²⁷ I was there when he set the heavens in place.
    When he marked out the place where the sky meets the sea, I was there.
²⁸ That was when he put the clouds above.
    It was when he fixed the ocean springs in place.
