Proverbs 8:26
24 When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth, when no springs were overflowing with water.
25 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.
27 I was there when He established the heavens, when He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth,
