Proverbs 8:29 — Meaning and Application

When he prepared the heavens, I {was} there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: {a compass: or, a circle}

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 I was by him, {as} one brought up {with him}: and I was daily {his} delight, rejoicing always before him;

Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights {were} with the sons of men.
