Proverbs 8:29-31
International Standard Version
29 when he set a boundary for the sea
so the waters would not exceed his limits,[a]
when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 Then I was with him, his master craftsman—
I was his delight[b] daily,
continuously rejoicing in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his inhabitable world
and taking delight in mankind.”
