18. With me are riches, honour,enduring wealth, and prosperity.
19. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold;my yield than choice silver.
20. I walk in the way of righteousness,in the middle of the paths of justice;
21. that I may give wealth to those who love me.I fill their treasuries.
22. “The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his work,before his deeds of old.
23. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,before the earth existed.
24. When there were no depths, I was born,when there were no springs abounding with water.
25. Before the mountains were settled in place,before the hills, I was born;
26. while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
