8it shall be health for thy navel, and moisture for thy bones.
9Honour Jehovah with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase;
10so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
11My son, despise not the instruction of Jehovah, neither be weary of his chastisement;
12for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14For the gain thereof is better than the gain of silver, and her revenue than fine gold.
15She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not equal unto her.
16Length of days is in her right hand; in her left hand riches and honour.
