Proverbs 3:10-20

¹⁰So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels overflowing with new wine.

¹¹My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training:

¹²For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.

¹³Happy is the man who makes discovery of wisdom, and he who gets knowledge.

¹⁴For trading in it is better than trading in silver, and its profit greater than bright gold.

¹⁵She is of more value than jewels, and nothing for which you may have a desire is fair in comparison with her.

¹⁶Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.

¹⁷Her ways are ways of delight, and all her goings are peace.

¹⁸She is a tree of life to all who take her in their hands, and happy is everyone who keeps her.

¹⁹The Lord by wisdom put in position the bases of the earth; by reason he put the heavens in their place.

²⁰By his knowledge the deep was parted, and dew came dropping from the skies.
