"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,"
— Proverbs 8:29, NET Bible
“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 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:”
before he made the earth and its fields, or the top soil of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there; when he marked out the horizon over the face of the deep,
when he established the clouds above, when he secured the fountains of the deep,
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,
then I was beside him as a master craftsman, and I was his delight day by day, rejoicing before him at all times,
rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and delighting in its people.
“So now, children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.
