17. I love them that love me; and those that seek me diligently shall find me.
18. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20. I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21. That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and that I may fill their treasuries.
22. The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26. While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
