Context of Proverbs 8:21
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 justice; That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries. 22Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old. 23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.
