Proverbs

¹⁶By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. ¹⁷I love them that love me; and those that seek me diligently shall find me. ¹⁸Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. ¹⁹My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. ²⁰I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: ²¹That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and that I may fill their treasuries. ²²The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
