Wisdom's Role in Creation

22

The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning.

23

I was set up from eternity, and of old, before the earth was made.

24

The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived, neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out.

25

The mountains, with their huge bulk, had not as yet been established: before the hills, I was brought forth:

26

He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.

27

When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law, and compass, he enclosed the depths:

28

When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:

29

When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when he balanced the foundations of the earth;

30

I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times;

31

Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.
