Proverbs 8:29-31
Common English Bible
29 when he set a limit for the sea,
so the water couldn’t go beyond his command,
when he marked out the earth’s foundations.
30 I was beside him as a master of crafts.[a]
I was having fun,
smiling before him all the time,
31 frolicking with his inhabited earth
and delighting in the human race.
