19. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than refined gold, and my increase than choice silver.
20. I [Wisdom] walk in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), in the midst of the paths of justice,
21. That I may cause those who love me to inherit [true] riches and that I may fill their treasuries.
22. The Lord formed and brought me [Wisdom] forth at the beginning of His way, before His acts of old.
23. I [Wisdom] was inaugurated and ordained from everlasting, from the beginning, before ever the earth existed. [John 1:1; I Cor. 1:24.]
