18 Riches and honor are with me,as well as enduring wealth and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold;my crops are better than choice silver.
20 I walk on the way of righteousness,on the paths of justice,
21 to provide for those who love meand to fill up their treasuries.
22 The Lord created me at the beginning of his way,before his deeds long in the past.
23 I was formed in ancient times,at the beginning, before the earth was.
24 When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth,when there were no springs flowing with water.
