12For whom the LORD loveth he chasteneth, Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13Happy the man who findeth wisdom; Yea, the man who getteth understanding!
14For the profit thereof is greater than that of silver, And the gain thereof than that of fine gold.
15More precious is she than pearls, And none of thy jewels is to be compared with her.
16Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold of her, And happy is every one who hath her in his grasp.
