22. “I, wisdom, was with God when he began his work.This was before he made anything else long ago.
23. I was appointed in the very beginning,even before the world began.
24. I began before there were oceans.There were no springs overflowing with water.
25. I began before the hills were there.The mountains had not even been put in place.
26. God still had not made the earth or fields.He had not even made the first dust of the earth.
27. I was there when God put the skies in place,when he stretched the horizon over the oceans.
28. I was there when he made the clouds above.I was there when he put the fountains in the oceans.
