Proverbs 8:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ I was formed a long, long time ago.
    I was formed at the very beginning, when the world was created.
²⁴ Before there were any oceans, I was born.
    It was before there were springs flowing with water.
²⁵ Before the mountains were settled in place, I was born.
    Before there were any hills, I was born.
