Proverbs 8:22-27

22 ^a“The Lord ^bpossessed ^{▼▼Or fathered; Septuagint created} me at the beginning of his work, ^{▼▼Hebrew way}
the first of his acts ^eof old.
23 Ages ago I was ^fset up,
at the first, ^gbefore the beginning of the earth.
24 When there were no ^hdepths I was ⁱbrought forth,

25 Before the mountains ^jhad been shaped,
^kbefore the hills, I was brought forth,
26 before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
27 When he ^lestablished the heavens, I was there;
when he drew ^ma circle on the face of the deep,
