26 He had not yet made the earth, nor the open places, nor the height of the dust in the worlde.
27 When hee prepared the heauens, I was there, when he set the compasse vpon the deepe.
28 When he established the cloudes aboue, when he confirmed the fountaines of the deepe,

30 Then was I with him as a nourisher, and I was dayly his delight reioycing alway before him,

32 Therefore nowe hearken, O children, vnto me: for blessed are they that keepe my wayes.
