Bible in Basic English
"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:"
— Proverbs 8:29, Bible in Basic English
When he had not made the earth or the fields or the dust of the world.
When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep:
When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed:
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:
Then I was by his side, as a master workman: and I was his delight from day to day, playing before him at all times;
Playing in his earth; and my delight was with the sons of men.
Give ear to me then, my sons: for happy are those who keep my ways.
