Proverbs 8:17-23
New American Standard Bible
17 I (A)love those who love me;
And (B)those who diligently seek me will find me.
18 (C)Riches and honor are with me,
Enduring (D)wealth and righteousness.
19 My fruit is (E)better than gold, even pure gold;
And my yield better than (F)choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice,
21 To endow those who love me with wealth,
That I may (G)fill their treasuries.
22 “The Lord [a]created me (H)at the beginning of His way,
Before His works [b]of old.
23 From eternity I was [c](I)established,
From the beginning, (J)from the earliest times of the earth.
