Proverbs 8:15-31

15By me kingsH4428 reignH4427, and rulersH7336 make just decrees;

16by me princesH8269 ruleH8323, and noblesH5081, all the judgesH8199 of the earth.

17I loveH157 those that loveH157 me; and they that seekH7836 me early shall findH4672 me.

18RichesH6239 and honour are with me; durable wealthH1952 and righteousnessH6666.

19My fruitH6529 is betterH2896 than fine goldH6337, yea, than pureH6337 goldH6337; and my revenue than choice silverH3701.

20I walkH1980 in the pathH734 of righteousnessH6666, in the midstH8432 of the pathsH734 of judgmentH4941:

21that I may cause those that loveH157 me to inheritH5157 substance; and I will fillH4390 their treasuriesH214.

22Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his wayH1870, before his works of old.

23I was set up from eternity, from the beginning, before the earthH776 was.

24When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with waterH4325.

25Before the mountainsH2022 were settled, before the hillsH1389 was I brought forth;

26while as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398.

27When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064 I was there; when he ordained the circleH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the deepH8415;

28when he established the skies above, when the fountains of the deepH8415 became strongH553;

29when he imposed on the seaH3220 his decreeH2706 that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandment, when he appointedH7760 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:

30then I wasH1961 by him [his] nursling, and I wasH1961 daily his delightH8191, rejoicing always before him;

31rejoicing in the habitable part of his earthH776, and my delights [were] with the sonsH1121 of menH120.
