Proverbs 8:17

Compare all

15 ^aBy me kings reign,
And rulers decree justice.

16 By me princes rule, and nobles,
All the judges of¹ the earth.

17 ^aI love those who love me,
And ^bthose who seek me diligently will find me.

18 ^aRiches and honor are with me,
Enduring riches and righteousness.

19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold,
And my revenue than choice silver.

20 I¹ traverse the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice,

21 That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
That I may fill their treasuries.

22 “The^a Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old.

23 ^aI have been established from everlasting,
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
