The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 8:27-31

  1. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

  2. When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

  3. When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

  4. Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

  5. Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
