Proverbs 8:29 in context

  1. 27When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,
  2. 28When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,
  3. 29When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;
  4. 30Then I was by him, as a master workman; And I was daily his delight, Rejoicing always before him,
  5. 31Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men.
