Proverbs 8:22-31
New International Version (NIV)
"Although Proverbs is more practical than theological, God's work as Creator is especially highlighted. The role of wisdom in creation is the subject of 8:22-31 (see notes there), where wisdom as an attribute of God is personified. God is called the Maker of the poor (14:31; 17:5; 22:2). He sovereignly directs the steps of people (cf. 16:9; 20:24) -- even the actions of kings (21:1) -- and his eyes observe all that humans do (cf. 5:21; 15:3). All history moves forward under his control (see 16:4,33 and notes)." from http://www.biblestudytools.com/proverbs/
22 “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works,[a][b]
before his deeds of old;
23 I was formed long ages ago,
at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
when there were no springs overflowing with water;
25 before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was given birth,
26 before he made the world or its fields
or any of the dust of the earth.
27 I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,
28 when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
29 when he gave the sea its boundary
so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 Then I was constantly[c] at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.

Where was the Son during all of NT times? As the Son, He did not exist until 4,000 years later! His pre-incarnate origin is documented in Pr.8:22-36, clearly revealing God brought him forth before the world began, the firstborn over all creation, as the Scriptures clearly reveal. Do you have some kind of a problem with that, Beukeboom? _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord

35 For those who find me find life
and receive favor from the LORD.
This verse is talking about Jesus because Jesus the way and the truth and the life. And He says if you love Jesus His Father loves you too. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord
