Proverbs 8:29 in Context — Proverbs 8
27 Quando preparava os céus, ali eu estava; quando ele desenhava ao redor da face do abismo.
28 Quando firmava as nuvens de cima, quando fortificava as fontes do abismo.
29 Quando colocava ao mar o seu limite, para que as águas não ultrapassassem seu mandado; quando estabelecia os fundamentos da terra.
30 Então eu estava com ele como um pupilo; e eu era seu agrado a cada dia, alegrando perante ele em todo tempo.
31 Alegrando na habitação de sua terra; e [concedendo] meus agrados aos filhos dos homens.
