Proverbs 8:29-31
American Standard Version
29 When he gave to the sea [a]its bound,
That the waters should not transgress his commandment,
When he [b]marked out the foundations of the earth;
30 Then I was by him, as a master workman;
And I [c]was daily his delight,
[d]Rejoicing always before him,
31 [e]Rejoicing in his habitable earth;
And my delight was with the sons of men.
