- My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
- For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
- Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
- For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
- She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
|
- My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke,
- because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
- Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding,
- for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
- She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
