Proverbs 8:22

²⁰ I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,

²¹ bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.

The LORD created me as His first course, before His works of old.

²³ From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, before the earth began.

²⁴ When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth, when no springs were overflowing with water.
