The verses around it, from Proverbs 8.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth,
26 before He made the land or fields, or any of the dust of the earth.
27 I was there when He established the heavens, when He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth,
29 when He set a boundary for the sea, so that the waters would not surpass His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side, and His delight day by day, rejoicing always in His presence.
31 I was rejoicing in His whole world, delighting together in the sons of men.
32 Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Listen to instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.
