Proverbs 8:24-26

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ When there were no depths I was brought forth,
    when there were no springs abounding with water.
²⁵ Before the mountains had been shaped,
    before the hills, I was brought forth—
²⁶ when he had not yet made earth and fields,^[a]
    or the world’s first bits of soil.
