Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
- B 17 them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
  - C 18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
    - D 19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
  - C' 20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
- B' 21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
A' 22-23 Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
