21As a result, I make those who love me inherit wealth; I fill up their treasuries.
22Yahweh created me at the beginning, the first of his deeds then.
23In ages long ago I was made—from the first, from the beginnings of the earth.
24Before there were oceans, I was given birth— before there were springs abounding with water.
25Before the mountains were settled and before the hills, I was born.
26I was born before Yahweh had made the earth or the fields, or even the first dust in the world.
