Proverbs 8:15-31
15By me kingsH4428 reignH4427, and princesH7336 decreeH2710 justiceH6664.
16By me princesH8269 ruleH8323, and noblesH5081, even all the judgesH8199 of the earthH776.
17I loveH157 them that loveH157 me; and those that seek me earlyH7836 shall findH4672 me.
18RichesH6239 and honourH3519 are with me; yea, durableH6276 richesH1952 and righteousnessH6666.
19My fruitH6529 is betterH2896 than goldH2742, yea, than fine goldH6337; and my revenueH8393 than choiceH977 silverH3701.
20I leadH1980 in the wayH734 of righteousnessH6666, in the midstH8432 of the pathsH5410 of judgmentH4941:1
21That I may cause those that loveH157 me to inheritH5157 substanceH3426; and I will fillH4390 their treasuresH214.
22YhwhH3068 possessedH7069 me in the beginningH7225 of his wayH1870, beforeH6924 his worksH4659 of old.
23I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.
24When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342; when there were no fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.
25Before the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forthH2342:
26While as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fieldsH2351, nor the highest partH7218 of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398.23
27When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH2710 a compassH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the depthH8415:4
28When he establishedH553 the cloudsH7834 aboveH4605: when he strengthenedH5810 the fountainsH5869 of the deepH8415:
29When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:
30Then I was by himH681, as one brought upH525 with him: and I was dailyH3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH6256 beforeH6440 him;
31RejoicingH7832 in the habitable partH8398 of his earthH776; and my delightsH8191 were with the sonsH1121 of menH120.
