20:008:015 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

20:008:016 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the
           earth.

20:008:017 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall
           find me.

20:008:018 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and
           righteousness.

20:008:019 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my
           revenue than choice silver.

20:008:020 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths
           of judgment: 

20:008:021 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and
           I will fill their treasures.

20:008:022 The lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his
           works of old.

20:008:023 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the
           earth was.

20:008:024 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there
           were no fountains abounding with water.

20:008:025 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I
           brought forth: 

20:008:026 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor
           the highest part of the dust of the world.

20:008:027 When he prepared the heavens, I was there:  when he set a
           compass upon the face of the depth: 

20:008:028 When he established the clouds above:  when he strengthened the
           fountains of the deep: 

20:008:029 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not
           pass his commandment:  when he appointed the foundations of the
           earth: 

20:008:030 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him:  and I was daily
           his delight, rejoicing always before him;

20:008:031 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights
           were with the sons of men.

20:008:032 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children:  for blessed are
           they that keep my ways.

20:008:033 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

20:008:034 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my
           gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

20:008:035 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of
           the lord.

20:008:036 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:  all they
           that hate me love death.

20:009:001 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven
           pillars: 

20:009:002 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she
           hath also furnished her table.

20:009:003 She hath sent forth her maidens:  she crieth upon the highest
           places of the city,
