Proverbs
Chapters 8:18-24
New International Version Anglicized
18With me are riches and honour,enduring wealth and prosperity.
19My fruit is better than fine gold;what I yield surpasses choice silver.
20I walk in the way of righteousness,along the paths of justice,
21bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love meand making their treasuries full.
22‘The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old;
23I was formed long ages ago,at the very beginning, when the world came to be.
24When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,when there were no springs overflowing with water;
