“The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.”
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
