Proverbs 8:1-4
King James Version
8 Doth not wisdom cry?
and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places,
by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates,
at the entry of the city,
at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you,
O men, I call;
and my voice is to the sons of man.
Do you know the TRUTH of JESUS?
More than you already know?
Or have been told?
Although this Proverbs chapter speaks of wisdom, it could very well be JESUS speaking of Himself.
How He began.
Who He is.
What He asks of us.

King James Version

that the waters should not pass his commandment:
when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

King James Version
