Proverbs 8:21
19 My fruit is better than gold, pure gold, and my harvest surpasses choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,
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.
23 From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, before the earth began.
