“When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.”
Proverbs 8:24 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 8:24
Before the depths existed, before fountains heavy with water, wisdom was brought forth. The Hebrew 'chuwl' (brought forth/born) uses birthing imagery, though not suggesting wisdom is created - rather, emphasizing priority and intimacy. Before primordial waters existed, wisdom was there. The progression emphasizes wisdom's absolute priority over all created things. Everything created presupposes wisdom; wisdom presupposes nothing.
