corruption and perverse speech.

and rulers make just decrees.

and nobles make righteous judgments.[a]

Those who search will surely find me.

as well as enduring wealth and justice.
19 My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold,
my wages better than sterling silver!

in paths of justice.
