Proverbs 3: 19, 20 (KJ21)
The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath He established the heavens; by His knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

Proverbs 3: 19, 20 (NAS)
The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens. By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, And the skies drip with dew.

Proverbs 3: 19, 20 (NIVUS)
By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.

Proverbs 3: 19, 20 (NLT)
By wisdom the LORD founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens. By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth, and the clouds poured down rain.

Have you ever wondered how the Lord Jehovah created the earth? The Bible says that the earth was founded and established by wisdom, with skill and wit. The foundation of the world is God's wisdom. Through reason and understanding, Adonai, the Lord Most High, caused the heavens to stand erect. His discernment and direction prepared and fixed their places. His diligence allows the sky to be firm and stable.

The Lord God knows what lies in the depths of the oceans. He observes everything there with care. He recognizes when the deep places are agitated and in an uproar, intent upon destruction. He is able to cleave and rend the ocean floors. By His power they can burst from their borders and by His strength they are kept in place. The Lord also knows how to make the clouds drip down dew as a covering for the earth's vegetation. Their vapor is strewn over the face of the land.

Therefore, when you are facing impossible situations, you should realize that the same God who holds the heavens and earth in place is the same God who holds your life in His hands. When the oceans roar against you, it is the Lord Jehovah who will silence their voice. When you need refreshment to quench your thirst, Adonai your Heavenly Father will command the clouds to drop their water so that you can freely drink. You should keep your heart fixed on His wisdom, where you will find peace and safety.
