"when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,"
— Proverbs 8:28, World English Bible
“When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:”
“When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong, ”
“when he established the clouds above, when he secured the fountains of the deep,”
“When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:”
“When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed:”
“When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:”
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,
Rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
