American King James Version
"When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: "
— Proverbs 8:29, American King James Version
“When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:”
“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; ”
“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;”
“when he gave the sea his decree that the waters should not pass over his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,”
“When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when he balanced the foundations of the earth;”
“When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth:”
“When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:”
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass on the face of the depth:
When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
Now therefore listen to me, O you children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
