Proverbs 8:25–26

25 before the mountains were settled in place,

before the hills, I was given birth,

26 before he made the world or its fields

or any of the dust of the earth.

25 Before the mountains had been shaped,

before the hills, I was brought forth,

26 before he had made the earth with its fields,

or the first of the dust of the world.

25 Before the mountains were settled,

Before the hills was I brought forth:

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,

Nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

25 Before the mountains were formed,

before the hills, I was born—

26 before he had made the earth and fields

and the first handfuls of soil.

25 Before the mountains were settled,

Before the hills, I was brought forth;

26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,

Or the primal dust of the world.

25 before the hills were there,

before the mountains were put in place.

26 God had not made the earth or fields,

not even the first dust of the earth.

25 Before the mountains were settled,

Before the hills was I brought forth;

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,

Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth; 26 while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

25 I was born 

before the mountains were settled in their places 

and before the hills, 

26 when he had not yet made land or fields 

or the first dust of the world. 

25 I was delivered

before the mountains and hills were established,

26 before He made the land, the fields,

or the first soil on earth.

25 Before the mountains had been shaped,

before the hills, I was brought forth,

26 when he had not yet made earth and fields

or the world’s first bits of soil.

25 Before the mountains were settled in place, I was born.

Before there were any hills, I was born.

26 It happened before the Lord made the earth and its fields.

It was before he made the dust of the world.

25 “Before the mountains were settled,

Before the hills I was brought forth;

26 While He had not yet made the earth and the fields,

Nor the first dust of the world.
