Proverbs 8:22-26 (Listen)

22 s“The Lord tpossessed1 me at the beginning of his work,2

the first of his acts uof old.

23 Ages ago I was vset up,

at the first, wbefore the beginning of the earth.

24 When there were no xdepths I was ybrought forth,

when there were no springs abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains zhad been shaped,

abefore the hills, I was brought forth,

26 before he had made the earth with its fields,

or the first of the dust of the world.
