Wisdom's Role in Creation

Proverbs 8:22-31

The LORD created me as His first course, before His works of old.

From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, before the earth began.

When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth, when no springs were overflowing with water.

Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth,

before He made the land or fields, or any of the dust of the earth.

I was there when He established the heavens, when He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,

when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth,

when He set a boundary for the sea, so that the waters would not surpass His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth.

Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side, and His delight day by day, rejoicing always in His presence.

I was rejoicing in His whole world, delighting together in the sons of men.
