Proverbs 8:28
26 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,
when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth,
29 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.
30 Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side, and His delight day by day, rejoicing always in His presence.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
