17. I love those that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me.
18. Riches and honour are with me, yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than precious stones, and my revenue than choice silver.
20. I shall lead in the way of righteousness in the midst of the paths of judgment,
21. that I may cause my friends to inherit existence and I will fill their treasures.
22. The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
