Proverbs 8:15-31

15By me 1kings reign, And rulers decree justice.16By me princes rule, and nobles, All who judge rightly.17I 2love those who love me; And 3those who diligently seek me will find me.184Riches and honor are with me, Enduring 5wealth and righteousness.19My fruit is 6better than gold, even pure gold, And my yield better than 7choicest silver.20I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice,21To endow those who love me with wealth, That I may 8fill their treasuries.

22“The Lord possessed me 9at the beginning of His way, Before His works 10of old.23From everlasting I was 1112established, From the beginning, 13from the earliest times of the earth.24When there were no 14depths I was 15brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.2516Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I was 17brought forth;26While He had not yet made the earth and the 18fields, Nor the first dust of the world.27When He 19established the heavens, I was there, When 20He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,28When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became 21fixed,29When 22He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His 23command, When He marked out 24the foundations of the earth;30Then 25I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, 26Rejoicing always before Him,3127Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having 28my delight in the sons of men.
