Proverbs 8:19-31 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

19. My fruit is better than fine gold, yea, than pure gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

20. I walk in the path of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

21. that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasuries.

22. Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23. I was set up from eternity, from the beginning, before the earth was.

24. When there were no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth;

26. while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

27. When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he ordained the circle upon the face of the deep;

28. when he established the skies above, when the fountains of the deep became strong;

29. when he imposed on the sea his decree that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30. then I was by him his nursling, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31. rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and my delights were with the sons of men.
