16 By me princes rule; Nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
17 I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.
18 With me are riches, honor, Enduring wealth, and prosperity.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold; My yield than choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;
21 That I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.
22 "Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, Before his deeds of old.
