Proverbs 8:26
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

Proverbs 8:27
27 When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

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

Proverbs 8:29
