Proverbs 8:22

WisdomCreation

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.
