Wisdom at the Creation

"The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men." Proverbs 8:22-31

Wisdom was "possessed" and "set up" in the beginning of God's "way"
possessed--
way--
set up--

Wisdom preceded "depths" "fountains" "mountains and hills"  "earth, fields, and "highest part of the dust of the world"
highest part of the dust of the world---

Was there WHEN he prepared heavens, set a compass, established clouds, sea, foundations

"Then I was by him"

"as one brought up with him"---

Feminine wisdom or is this Jesus?  I would say NOT Jesus because Jesus is not created, part of trinity.
