- 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.
|
- Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
- Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
- She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed.
- By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place;
- by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
