Proverbs 8:20
18 With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, pure gold, and my harvest surpasses choice silver.
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.
22 The LORD created me as His first course, before His works of old.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
