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 7choice 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 9created me 10at the beginning of His way, Before His works 11of old.23From eternity I was 1213established, From the beginning, 14from the earliest times of the earth.24When there were no 15ocean depths, I was born, When there were no springs abounding with water.2516Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills, I was born;26While He had not yet made the earth and the 17fields, Nor the first dust of the world.27When He 18established the heavens, I was there; When 19He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,28When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became 20fixed,29When 21He set a boundary for the sea So that the water would not violate His 22command, When He marked out 23the foundations of the earth;30Then 24I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was His delight daily, 25Rejoicing always before Him,3126Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having 27my delight in the sons of mankind.
