International Standard Version

The Agelessness of Wisdom

22 “The Lord made me as he began his planning,[a]
    before his ancient activity commenced.
23 From eternity I was appointed,
    from the beginning,
        from before there was land.
24 When there were no ocean depths,
    I brought them[b] to birth
        at a time when there were no springs.
