The context of Proverbs 8 KJB
eliminates the meanings/uses of “molten” [to form], “melteth”, “offer” [as a sacrifice, or to pour out as in offering], “cover” [to place over], “pour” [out as in offering], “poured” [a drink offering, in anointing an object, etc.],
except it be in the meaning of 'poured out upon', as in
“anointed” [of the Holy Ghost/Spirit] from everlasting, as the Son of God is indeed, the
“Christ” even before He is born [Matthew 2:4; Luke 2:11,26 KJB]
and/or in the meaning of being the one chosen [and chose] to be
“offer[ed]” in sacrifice from before all things were made; a life to be
“poured out” as a gift for the redemption, for sin should it arise.
The context of Proverbs 8 KJB thus helps us to know that the phrase “set up”
carries with it the meanings of “set”, but also dealing with the
“anointed” heir and King:
Psalms 2:2 KJB - The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psalms 2:6 KJB - Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Psalms 2:7 KJB - I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Psalms 2:8 KJB - Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Psalms 2:12 KJB - Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

The context of Proverbs 8 KJB
eliminates the meanings/uses of “pain”, “painful”, “pained”, “sorrow”, “grievous”, “grievously”, “grieved”, “fall [grievously]”, “great [pain]”, “anguish”, “afraid [troubled]”, “fear”, “wounded”, “tremble”, “trembled”, “shaketh”, “driveth”, “wounded” since the words
“rejoicing always before him” [Proverbs 8:30 KJB], “
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and
my delights were with the sons of men.”
[Proverbs 8:31 KJB] are associated, which would go with the meanings of “dance” and “danced”. The
only way the other meanings may be included within the contextual definition, is in reference to the Son's Godly awesome reverential wonder at the beautiful and marvelous will of His eternal Father, and in the plan of redemption which included the cross. For instance, see
“The fear of the LORD” - Proverbs 8:13 KJB.
The context of Proverbs 8 KJB also
eliminates the meanings of 'giving birth' to, as meaning in coming into existence/world at some point in time, such as “travail”, “travailed”, “driveth” [as to push forward], “shapen”, “made”, “bring forth”, “brought [forth]”, “bare”, “calve”, “formed” since the words
“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way” [Proverbs 8:22 KJB],
“I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning” [Proverbs 8:23 KJB],
“I was there” [Proverbs 8:27 KJB] and
“Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him.” [Proverbs 8:30 KJB]. The context declares that the Son had ever been with the Father from eternity, ever “with” Him. The
only way the other meanings may be included within the contextual definition, is in reference to the Son's being born/made of a woman, taking upon Himself the flesh nature of mankind, and entering into the world through the miracle of “the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh” [1 Timothy 3:16 KJB].
The context of Proverbs 8 KJB thus helps us to know that the phrase “brought forth”
carries with it the meanings of “stayed” [waited patiently or attended to another, as in 'waiting upon', or ever at the ready, ever at the right hand to obey, called upon to attend], “abide”, “hope” [quietly wait upon/for], “look” [towards, up to], “patiently”, “rest”, “tarried”, “trust”, “wait”, “waited”, since the words “
When he prepared the heavens,
I was there:
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:”
[Proverbs 8:27 KJB], “
When he established the clouds above:
when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:”
[Proverbs 8:28 KJB], “
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment:
when he appointed the foundations of the earth:”
[Proverbs 8:29 KJB],
“Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;” [Proverbs 8:30 KJB; see also Psalms 40:8 KJB]. Thus when the eternal Father called for the eternal Son, the Son who ever waited upon the will of His Father, said, 'Yes, Father, here am I.' and thus the Son was brought to accomplish the Father's decrees:
