16By me princes rule, And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17I love them that love me, And they who seek me early shall find me.
18Riches and honor are with me; Yea, durable riches and prosperity.
19My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold. And my revenue than choice silver.
20I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of equity.
21I cause those who love me to possess substance; Yea, I fill their treasuries.
22“The LORD created me, the firstling of his course, Before his works, of old;
23I was anointed from everlasting, From the beginning, even before the earth was made.
24When as yet there were no deeps, I was brought forth. When there were no springs, abounding with water.
25Before the mountains were settled, Yea, before the hills, I was brought forth;
26Ere yet he had made the land and the wastes, And the first of the clods of the earth.
27When he framed the heavens, I was there; When he drew a circle upon the face of the deep;
