Proverbs 8:24,28 - Compare All Versions

When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water

when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep

When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep

I was born before the oceans were created, before the springs bubbled forth their waters.

I was there when he set the clouds above, when he established springs deep in the earth.

I was born when there were no watery depths  and no springs filled with water.

when he placed the skies above, when the fountains of the ocean gushed out

When there were no depths, I was brought forth; When there were no fountains abounding with water.

When he established the clouds above: When he strengthened the fountains of the deep

When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.

When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep

“GOD sovereignly made me—the first, the basic— before he did anything else. I was brought into being a long time ago, well before Earth got its start. I arrived on the scene before Ocean, yes, even before Springs and Rivers and Lakes. Before Mountains were sculpted and Hills took shape, I was already there, newborn; Long before GOD stretched out Earth’s Horizons, and tended to the minute details of Soil and Weather, And set Sky firmly in place, I was there. When he mapped and gave borders to wild Ocean, built the vast vault of Heaven, and installed the fountains that fed Ocean, When he drew a boundary for Sea, posted a sign that said NO TRESPASSING, And then staked out Earth’s Foundations, I was right there with him, making sure everything fit. Day after day I was there, with my joyful applause, always enjoying his company, Delighted with the world of things and creatures, happily celebrating the human family.

When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed

“When there were no ocean depths I was born, When there were no fountains and springs overflowing with water.

When He made firm the skies above, When the fountains and springs of the deep became fixed and strong

When there were no deep oceans I was born, when there were no springs overflowing with water

when he established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep grew strong
