Proverbs 8:22
Douay-Rheims
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning.
Augustine of Hippo
The beginning of his ways is the head of the church, which is Christ incarnate, through whom there was to be given us an example of living, that is, a certain way by which we might reach God.… So the Word by which all things were made was created man in the beginning of his ways.
