15By me 1kingsH4428 reignH4427, And rulersH7336 decreeH2710 justiceH6664.16By me princesH8269 ruleH8323, and noblesH5081, AllH3605 who judgeH8199 rightlyH6664.17I 2loveH157 those who loveH157 me; And 3those who diligentlyH7836 seekH7836 me will findH4672 me.184RichesH6239 and honorH3519 are with me, EnduringH6276 5wealthH1952 and righteousnessH6666.19My fruitH6529 is 6betterH2896 thanH4480 goldH2742, even pureH6337 goldH6337, And my yieldH8393 better thanH4480 7choicestH977 silverH3701.20I walkH1980 in the wayH734 of righteousnessH6666, In the midstH8432 of the pathsH5410 of justiceH4941,21To endowH5157 those who loveH157 me with wealthH3426, That I may 8fillH4390 their treasuriesH214.

22“The LordH3068 possessedH7069 me 9at the beginningH7225 of His wayH1870, BeforeH6924 His worksH4659 10of oldH6924.23From everlastingH5769 I was 1112establishedH5258, From the beginningH7218, 13from the earliestH6924 timesH6924 of the earthH776.24When thereH369 were noH369 14depthsH8415 I was 15broughtH2342 forthH2342, When thereH369 were noH369 springsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.2516BeforeH2962 the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, BeforeH6440 the hillsH1389 I was 17broughtH2342 forthH2342;26WhileH5704 He had not yet madeH6213 the earthH776 and the 18fieldsH2351, NorH3808 the firstH7218 dustH6083 of the worldH8398.27When He 19establishedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was thereH8033, When 20He inscribedH2710 a circleH2329 on the faceH6440 of the deepH8415,28When He madeH553 firmH553 the skiesH7834 aboveH4480H4605, When the springsH5871 of the deepH8415 becameH5810 21fixedH5810,29When 22He setH7760 for the seaH3220 its boundaryH2706 So that the waterH4325 would not transgressH5674 His 23commandH6310, When He markedH2710 out 24the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776;30Then 25I was besideH681 Him, as a masterH525 workmanH525; And I was dailyH3117 His delightH8191, 26RejoicingH7832 alwaysH3605H6256 beforeH6440 Him,3127RejoicingH7832 in the worldH8398, His earthH776, And having 28my delightH8191 in the sonsH1121 of menH120.
