NASB
"When He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth;"
— Proverbs 8:29, NASB
“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;”
While He had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor the first dust of the world.
"When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed,
When He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth;
Then I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,
Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having my delight in the sons of men.
"Now therefore, O sons, listen to me, For blessed are they who keep my ways.
