17. I love those who love me,and those who seek me early will find me.
18. Riches and honor are with me,yes, enduring riches and righteousness.
19. My fruit is better than gold,yes, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver.
20. I lead in the way of righteousness,in the midst of the paths of justice,
