Proverbs 8:18

Wisdom Calls

¹⁷ Those who have given me their love are loved by me, and those who make search for me with care will get me. ¹⁸ Wealth and honour are in my hands, even wealth without equal and righteousness. ¹⁹ My fruit is better than gold, even than the best gold; and my increase is more to be desired than silver.
