{Proverbs 8:12} I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 8:20} I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 8:21} That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 8:22} The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 8:23} I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 8:24} When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no fountains abounding with water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 8:25} Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 8:26} While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Proverbs 8:27} When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: ⠀⠀⠀⠀
