ÒThe Lord created me
[Wisdom] at the beginning of his
work, the first of his acts of old. Ages ago I was set up, at the first,
before the beginning of the
earth. When there were no depths I was
brought forth, when there were no springs
abounding with water. Before the mountains had
been shaped É then I was beside him, like a
master workman, and I was daily his
delight.Ó
Proverbs
8:22-31
