Wisdom's Rewards

In Proverbs 8:17-21 and 9:11 (a displaced verse that fits after 8:17) Wisdom speaks as a prophetess, proclaiming her rewards.

WISDOM'S REWARDS
from The New Oxford Annotated Bible:
Proverbs 8:17, 9:11 and 8:18-21 (Revised Standard Version)

I love those who love me,
    and those who seek me diligently find me.
For by me your days will be multiplied,
    and years will be added to your life.
Riches and honor are with me,
    enduring wealth and prosperity.
My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold,
    and my yield than choice silver.
I walk in the way of righteousness,
    in the paths of justice,
endowing with wealth those who love me,
    and filling their treasuries.
