23 I was formed long ages ago,

at the very beginning, when the world came to be.

23 Ages ago I was set up,

at the first, before the beginning of the earth.

23 I was appointed in ages past,

at the very first, before the earth began.

23 I have been established from everlasting,

From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.

23 I was created in the very beginning,

even before the world began.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,

Before the earth was.

23 I was set up from eternity, from the beginning, before the earth was.

23 I was appointed from everlasting 

from the first, 

before the earth began. 

23 I was formed before ancient times,

from the beginning, before the earth began.

23 Ages ago I was set up,

at the first, before the beginning of the earth.

23 From eternity, I was set up from the first,

from the beginning of the earth.

23 I was formed at the very beginning.

I was formed before the world began.

23 “From everlasting I was established,

From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.
