In context
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 established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,

31 rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
32 “Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
