Wisdom was with the LORD in the Beginning of His Way

Wisdom was with the LORD in the beginning of His way, before His works of old. The LORD possessed Wisdom; Wisdom was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was (Prov.8:22-23 below).

When there were no depths, Wisdom was BROUGHT FORTH; when there were no fountains abounding with water; before the mountains were settled, before the hills Wisdom was brought forth (Prov.8:24-25 below).

While as yet He (the LORD – Prov.8:22 below) had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world; when He prepared the heavens, Wisdom was there: when He set a compass upon the face of the depth; when He established the clouds above: when He strengthened the fountains of the deep. When He gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not pass His commandment: when He appointed the foundations of the earth, then Wisdom was by the LORD as one brought up with Him: and Wisdom was the LORD’s delight daily, Wisdom rejoicing always before Him. (Prov.8:26-30 below).

Prov.8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

Prov.8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
