American Standard Version
"When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep, "
— Proverbs 8:27, American Standard Version
“When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:”
“When he established the heavens, I was there; when he set a circle on the surface of the deep,”
“When he established the heavens, I was there; when he marked out the horizon over the face of the deep,”
“When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law, and compass, he enclosed the depths:”
“When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep:”
“When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:”
When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth;
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,
When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,
When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;
Then I was by him, asa master workman; And I was dailyhisdelight, Rejoicing always before him,
