The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before
his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or
ever the earth was.
When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no
fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before
the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth,
nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass
upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when
he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass
his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I
was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing
always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my
delights were with the sons of men.
Proverbs 8 22
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man
gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom
is justified of her children.
Matthew 11:19
