6In all thy ways think on him, and he will direct thy steps.
7I Be not wise in thy own conceit: fear God, and depart from evil:
8For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.
9Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of all thy fruits:
10And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall run over with wine.
11My son, reject not the correction of the Lord: and do not faint when thou art chastised by him:
12For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth: and as a father in the son he pleaseth himself.
13Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom and is rich in prudence:
14The purchasing thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and her fruit than the chiefest and purest gold:
15She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are desired, are not to be compared with her.
16Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.
