4He taught me, and said to me, Let thy heart hold fast my words; Keep my commandments, and live.
5Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, and depart not from, the words of my mouth.
6Forsake her not, and she will guard thee: Love her, and she will preserve thee.
7Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore gain wisdom, And with all thy gain, gain understanding.
8Exalt her, and she will promote thee; She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her;
9She will give to thy head a graceful wreath, A beautiful crown will she bestow upon thee.
10Hear, O my son! and receive my sayings! So shall the years of thy life be many.
