World English Bible
"When he established the heavens, I was there; when he set a circle on the surface of the deep,"
— Proverbs 8:27, World English Bible
“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 upon the face 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 springs abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was 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 on the surface of the deep,
when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,
when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth;
then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,
