Proverbs 8:22

KJV

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

NIV

“The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old;

The “me” in this passage refers to wisdom personified, also believed to be Jesus Christ as the Word of God, or the Holy Ghost. Neither were created nor formed, as the Arians would have us believe. The CSB suggests God “acquired” wisdom- which means he had to get it from somewhere outside of himself- an altogether gnostic and blasphemous notion.
