"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;"
— Proverbs 8:29, World English 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 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 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.
"Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
