²² Jehovah possessed me -- the beginning of His way, Before His works since then.

²³ From the age I was anointed, from the first, From former states of the earth.

²⁴ In there being no depths, I was brought forth, In there being no fountains heavy `with' waters,

²⁵ Before mountains were sunk, Before heights, I was brought forth.

²⁶ While He had not made the earth, and out-places, And the top of the dusts of the world.

¹⁴ Mine `is' counsel and substance, I `am' understanding, I have might.

⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

⁵ Great `is' our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

⁷ The law of Jehovah `is' perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah `are' stedfast, Making wise the simple,
