19 What I give is better than the finest gold,better than the purest silver.
20 I do what is rightand follow the path of justice.
21 I give wealth to those who love me,filling their houses with treasures.
22 “I, wisdom, was with the Lord when he began his work,long before he made anything else.
23 I was created in the very beginning,even before the world began.
24 I was born before there were oceans,or springs overflowing with water,
25 before the hills were there,before the mountains were put in place.
