22. "The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.
23. "From everlasting I was established, From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.
24. "When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.
25. "Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I was brought forth;
26. While He had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor the first dust of the world.
