2for length of existence, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to you.
3Let not mercy and truth forsake you; but bind them about your neck:
4so shall you find favor: and do you provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men.
5Trust in God with all your heart; and be not exalted in your own wisdom.
6In all your ways acquaint yourself with her, that she may rightly direct your paths.
7Be not wise in your own conceit; but fear God, and depart from all evil.
8Then shall there be health to your body, and good keeping to your bones.
9Honor the Lord with your just labors, and give him the first of your fruits of righteousness:
10that your storehouses may be completely filled with corn, and that your presses may burst forth with wine.
11My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
12for whom the Lord loves, he rebukes, and scourges every son whom he receives.
13Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, and the mortal who knows prudence.
14For it is better to traffic for her, than for treasures of gold and silver.
15And she is more valuable than precious stones: no evil thing shall resist her: she is well known to all that approach her, and no precious thing is equal to her in value.
16For length of existence and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left hand are wealth and glory: out of her mouth proceeds righteousness, and she carries law and mercy upon her tongue.
