Proverbs 3:10-19

¹⁰Then your barns will be filled with produce, and your vats will overflow with new wine.

¹¹My son, don't reject the Lord's discipline or resent it when he corrects you,

¹²for the Lord corrects those he loves, as a father corrects a son who pleases him.

¹³Happy are those who find wisdom and gain understanding,

¹⁴for wisdom is worth more than silver, and pays better than gold.

¹⁵She is more valuable than rubies—everything you could ever want just doesn't compare!

¹⁶She offers long life in one hand, and riches and honor in the other.

¹⁷She brings true happiness, and leads to peaceful prosperity.

¹⁸Wisdom is a tree of life to everyone who embraces her, blessing those who accept her.

¹⁹It was through wisdom that the Lord created the earth, and through understanding he set the heavens in place.
