17 (J)I love those who love me,
and (K)those who seek me diligently find me.
18 (L)Riches and honor are with me,
(M)enduring wealth and (N)righteousness.
19 My fruit is (O)better than (P)gold, even fine gold,
and my yield than (Q)choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
in the paths of justice,
21 granting an inheritance to those who love me,
and filling their treasuries.
